Yirrkala School Visit

In partnership with Melbourne University, we will be hosting a group of educators from the Yirrkala school in Arnhem land. The students at Yirrkala learn in the Yolngu Matha language and English. Six teachers from Yirrkala will be working alongside our teachers for four days beginning on November 25th. 

Bi-lingual education at their school was begun by and continues to be supported by Yalmay Yunupiŋu who is currently the Senior Australian of the Year. Yalmay and members of the Melbourne University Educational faculty will be visiting our school on Thursday 28th November. 

This is Yirrkala's second visit to our school. They were here for a day last year. We have much in common and look forward to further developing a relationship with them.

There will be presentation from our visitors from Yirrkala at our school assembly on Friday 29th November.
