Welcome to Marree Aboriginal School

Marree Aboriginal School, in partnership with our community, is committed to building resilient students
who have positive pathways to their future. With our site priorities of literacy, numeracy and the community, we are achieving success in our long-term outcomes leading to further study and employment.

The school, which consists of JET crèche, a Child Parent Centre and Reception - Year 12 classes, sits
in an isolated area approximately 660km north of Adelaide at the junction of the Birdsville and Oodnadatta Tracks. The population of approximately 100 permanent residents derive from Aboriginal, Afghan and European heritage.

The school enjoys strong community support with families prepared to be involved in all relevant aspects
of teaching and learning programs and operational practices. Marree students engage in a range of activities under the Jane Goodall Institute 'Roots & Shoots' umbrella and are currently involved in a variety of projects involving this philosophy. We also enjoy a relationship with 'Dare to Lead' and the Indigenous Leadership Institute who both support us in delivering a high-quality curriculum in partnership with strong cultural values.
