Role description
Ernabella Anangu School is a Birth to Year 12 Aboriginal school located in Pukatja Community on the Anangu Pitjantjatjara Yankunytjatjara (APY) Lands. Most children speak Pitjantjatjara as their first language and learn Standard Australian English as an additional language or dialect.
The school works in partnership with Anangu children, educators, families and community members to provide culturally responsive education. Strong relationships, play-based learning, cultural safety and high expectations are central to early-years teaching at Ernabella.
