Our School Values
As a bilingual school it is important that Warlpiri values are also upheld and equally respected as with English. It is very difficult to translate from Warlpiri to English and convey the extent of meaning of each word chosen as a Warlpiri value.
Our school newsletter show all the great things that are happening within each classroom and special fun events that have been held.
