YIPIRINYA SCHOOL

Yipirinya School caters for Indigenous students because it keeps traditional Indigenous Culture and Language alive.

It offers two-way education, bilingual and bicultural. It teaches literacy and numeracy and western skills following the Northern Territory Curriculum, but it also teaches Indigenous languages and culture.

There are over 200 students at the School. The School has a purpose built Child Care Centre catering for 2 – 3 year olds, a Preschool for 4 year olds, and a full Primary School from Transition to Year 6.
