Delivering full-time education to children in remote homelands of the Djelk IPA
HomelandSchoolCompany(HSC)
Community leaders and Traditional Owners in the Djelk IPA established the Homeland School Company (HSC) in 2023, after extensive consultation and discussion about access to education for their children.
Learning from the success of the Nawarddeken Academy, the aspiration of community members in Djelk is for their new Homeland School Company to deliver on their vision for the future of their Country, culture and communities, with full-time education at remote homelands.
At present, students are unable to live on and learn about their homelands, which has led to families moving between their homeland communities and the township of Maningrida to access consistent education. This company intends to resolve this issue through establishing bi-cultural independent schools at key homelands across the IPA.
