National Reconciliation Week: Nyangatjatjara College

Nyangatjatjara College delivers education to Anangu students across Central Australia, with campuses located in Imanpa, Kaltukatjara (Docker River), and Yulara. All three campuses offer secondary education, while both Imanpa and Kaltukatjara also provide primary education. Our students speak Pitjantjatjara as their first language.

We work in close partnership with our three communities, fostering strong relationships to support two-way learning—both on Country and in the classroom. Our curriculum integrates core academic foundations with a strong emphasis on cultural knowledge and learning.

We are proud to collaborate with key community organisations, including Uluru-Kata Tjuta National Park (UKTNP), NPY Women’s Council, and MacDonnell Regional Council. These partnerships provide students with valuable opportunities to engage in programs focused on land management, health and nutrition, and other initiatives that reflect the priorities and strengths of our communities. We have also established the Pitjantjatjara Driving School in partnership with IRSA helping students learn driver safety and obtain their licences.

A key focus at Nyangatjatjara College is digital literacy. Using Virtual Reality and digital classrooms, students gain practical, future-focused skills that support pathways to employment and enterprise.
