50 years of bilingual education at Yuendumu School
Yuendumu School celebrated 50 years of bilingual education last week with students, families, and the community, reflecting on half a century of preserving culture and language through education.
Since 1974, the school has played a vital role in supporting the community’s cultural heritage, teaching the local Walpiri language to generations of families.
The celebrations featured an official opening by Elders, an array of awards to key contributors in the school’s bilingual education history and a beautiful photo display of memories. The school community also enjoyed a range of activities and a special performance of traditional Purlapa and Yawulyu dances by students.
Yuendumu School’s 50 years highlights the resilience and commitment of all, ensuring a safe and inclusive learning environment to lead students on the pathway to success.
Congratulations to all involved in this incredible milestone.
