Classes are taught in both traditional language (Central Arrernte, Western Aranda, Luritja and Warlpiri) and English at the same time. Learning on country is an integral part of the curriculum and with weekly day long on country excursions with teachers and Elders.
The school produces its own big readers and classroom texts for each of the four languages and produces appropriate activity and work sheets in language for the students. The school shares many of its printed literature resources with schools in remote communities.
The school is registered as an independent non-government school and is governed by a School Council.
We acknowledge and pay respect to the founders of Yipirinya School and the important work that they, and those who have followed them, have done in keeping language and culture strong since 1978.
