About Parnngurr
Established 30 years ago, Parnngurr Community School supports 35 students within the local community, currently ranging from Years 1 to 12. With pristine grounds, lush with greenery, the school is situated in a friendly community 370km east of Newman.
Committed to providing diverse pathways, the school focuses on creating and fostering opportunities for their students in Year 10 and beyond, including movement into trade qualifications or continuing on to completion of Year 12.
A typical day at the school involves a combination of intensive literacy and numeracy learning in the first part of the day, and practical activities such as arts and sports in the afternoons, alongside regular on-country learning with students.

The community is welcoming to all newcomers, and, although remote, the community receives mail twice a week and is home to a general store, community office, oval, and a modern health clinic, with a nurse stationed 24 hours, and doctors or specialists visiting regularly. Halfway through each term, the school participates in a 'wellbeing break', by travelling to Newman to get supplies for the second half of the term. This trip includes accommodation and provides an opportunity to relax and enjoy everything Newman has to offer.
