Playgroup: Birth – 3 years Preschool: 3- 5 years Page 2 © Department for Education and Child Development 2012 February FTE student enrolment: Staffing numbers (as at February census): 1 x Principal 1 x B1 Coordinator 3 x Teachers 1 x SSO2 6 x AEW Public transport access: The School operates a daily bus run and a preschool bus run to bring families to school. 2. Students (and their welfare) General characteristics: The majority of students at Murputja are Anangu. Most students speak Pitjantjatjara at home and their only exposure to English is at school. Many students begin school or preschool without speaking any English. There is a high level of transience among families in Kanpi and Nyapari. Students may move between communities in Western Australia and the Northern Territory regularly for cultural and family reasons. Inconsistency of attendance at school is invariably a factor for students. Teachers and AEWs regularly connect with families to discuss student learning, well-being and behaviour. Families are always welcome in the school. Murputja Anangu School has a strong focus on student well-being. The school understands that students learn best when their basic needs have been met. All students are provided with a daily breakfast program provided by the Red Cross. All students are provided with a daily hot lunch by the school. All students are provided with fruit in the afternoon provided by Mai Wiru. Murputja Anangu School receives support through the Anangu Lands partnership. This support includes the Support Services Team (behaviour support, hearing and speech pathology) who visit regularly to assist students. The school has a key AEW identified to support the delivery of Pitjantjatjara in both classes. This is supported by the First Language Maintenance and Development Coordinator located at Ernabella. The school has strong Page 3 © Department for Education and Child Development 2012 relationships with Nganampa Health, Children and Adolescent Mental Health Services (CAMHS) and NPY Women’s Council in order to coordinate other support for families. Anangu Coordinators and AEWs support teachers to understand, plan and respond to each child’s individual needs. Murputja School has a clear behaviour management policy, which is guided and informed by trauma informed practices and positive education strategies. The school has individual behaviour support plans in place for identified students. Two students from the Senior Class sit as members of the School Governing Council alongside community members from the families from Kanpi, Nyapari and Watarru. Special programmes Students are able to participate in a weekly music lesson with a key AEW. The AEW is supported by a visit from an instrumental music teacher for two-three weeks per year to help develop this program. All classes are involved in learning on country (bush trips) at least once a term. The teacher and AEW co-plan this learning to ensure that students continue to have exposure to traditional knowledge and stories. These trips may also link with employers such as Land Management. Murputja Anangu School has a 20 year relationship with Port Elliot Primary School. Port Elliott students visit Murputja Anangu School every two years and Murputja returns the visit the following year. This program is highly valued by the school community. In 2017, Port Elliott will visit Murputja. In Term 1 and Term 4, students travel to Amata Community in order to attend swimming lessons. Senior students have the opportunity to attend the Trade Training Centre from 14 years old. The Trade Training Centre provides access to Certificate I and II in Construction, Horticulture, Hospitality and Automotive. Senior students also have the opportunity to undertake work experience at Ayers Rock Resort. This training potentially leads to employment as a trainee. 3.

  • Far Removed: an Insight Into the Labour Markets of Remote Communities in Central Australia
    145 AUSTRALIAN JOURNAL OF LABOUR ECONOMICS VOLUME 19 • NUMBER 3 • 2016 Far Removed: An Insight into the Labour Markets of Remote Communities in Central Australia Michael Dockery, Curtin Business School Judith Lovell, Charles Darwin University Abstract There are ongoing debates about the livelihoods of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Australians living in remote communities, and the role for policy in addressing socio- economic equity and the economic viability of those communities. The characteristics and dynamics of remote labour markets are important parameters in many of these debates. However, remote economic development discourses are often conducted with limited access to empirical evidence of the actual functioning of labour markets in remote communities – evidence that is likely to have important implications for the efficacy of policy alternatives. Unique survey data collected from Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islanders living in 21 remote communities in central Australia for the Cooperative Research Centre for Remote Economic Participation’s Population Mobility and Labour Markets project are used to examine these labour markets, with a focus on the role of education and training. Examining access to education, employment opportunity and other structural factors, it is clear that the reality of economic engagement in these communities is far removed from the functioning of mainstream labour markets. The assumptions about, or lack of distinction between remote and urban locations, have contributed to misunderstanding of the assets and capabilities remote communities have, and aspire to develop. Evidence from the survey data on a number of fronts is interpreted to suggest policies to promote employment opportunity within communities offer greater potential for improving the livelihoods of remote community residents than policies reliant on the assumption that residents will move elsewhere for work.

  • Watarru Collaboration
    Watarru Collaboration Language Group Pitjantjatjara Region APY Lands Biography The artists of Watarru have received high acclaim for their collaborative paintings. Their initial collaborative works were commissioned by the Department for Environment and Heritage and now hang permanently in the South Australian Parliament. These are the first Indigenous paintings to hang in parliament house. In 2007 they won a major prize in the national Drawing Together competition sponsored by the Australian Public Service Commission, a competitive award, which attracted over 570 entries from across Australia. Tjungu Palya : Located about 100kms south of Uluru, Nyapari is set at the base of the majestic Mann Ranges in the heart of country traditionally owned by the Pitjantjatjara people. These ranges known to Anangu as Murputja, likening the mountain to the bony ridge of a person’s spine, are the source of many water holes and traditional camping places. The homelands of Kanpi, Nyapari, Angatja, Umpukulu and Tjankanu have grown from these seasonal camping places into permanent settlements. Over fifty artists from Murputja joined together with family members living in traditional country 180kms to the south at Watarru and created Tjungu Palya (Good Together). The artists involved in this work vary but are generally, Beryl Jimmy, Tinpulya Mervin, Wipana Jimmy and Imitjala Pollard. Tjungu Palya is 100% owned and managed by Aboriginal people ensuring the wealth of talent and economic returns are retained in the community. Tjungu Palya promotes cultural integrity and the ethical sales of authentic art.

  • An Integrated Assessment of Projected Climate Change Impacts And
    It Depends Which Way the Wind Blows: An integrated assessment of projected climate change impacts and adaptation options for the Alinytjara Wilurara Natural Resources Management region FINAL REPORT June 2012 ISBN 978 1 921800 42 9 1 FOREWORD As stated by Warwick Baird, at the 2008 Climate change and Indigenous Peoples conference in Perth “ ... climate change was impacting and was going to impact even more on indigenous peoples globally in a unique way, because of this deep engagement they have with the land. “ Aboriginal and Torres Strait people have the care and control of over 20% of the land in Australia and this link is recognised internationally. Engagement with the first nation peoples over the policies and directions of climate change initiatives needs to be a focus of national and state programs. Aboriginal people across South Australia need to be fully included in climate change discussions, particularly about how it will affect their culture, their land and water resources, so they can make informed decisions about what to do next. The Alinytjara Wilurara Natural Resource Management Board acknowledges some progress at a Federal level towards this and that more clarity is needed for communities to be able to understand what is available to support them. The Natural Resource Management Boards are a good conduit to help this process The Board with the support of communities and Adelaide University developed this report as the first of many steps needed in our Region to look at the impact of climate change on the land and possible effects on community’s ability to look after that land.
