School Aims

From the outset of the school’s inception the community has had very clear aims for the school.

These expectations have always remained the same:

• Teach the kids survival skills;
• Keep children in our hands and keep them straight;
• Community involvement;
• Learn about Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal cultures;
• Teach in our own language;
• Teach our children English;
• Take children from school through to work;
• Promote self-identity;
• Maintenance of Nyangumarta traditions;
• Have school near parents and camp ¬ do not send children away;
• People outside the school are very important in the learning situation.
