tourism and local government centre. Jabiru is located approximately 250 km east of Darwin in West Arnhem Land. The
school caters for students from birth to senior secondary. Current enrolment is 160, with what is increasingly a
predominantly Indigenous EaLD learner student cohort. The school has a strategic focus on improving student wellbeing and
engagement, building strong community/school partnerships, and creating strong employment outcomes and opportunities
for school leavers.
