Kenmore Park Anangu School

At Kenmore Park Anangu School we create confident, freethinking, problem solvers with strong connections to our community and land. Our students are globally aware, yet locally grounded. They graduate with the skills to successfully move freely between Piranpa and Anangu worlds. Kenmore Park Anangu School is located in Yunyarinyi, within the APY Lands (Anangu, Pitjantjatjara, Yankuntjatjara) in the far North of South Australia. It is approximately 1400km North of Adelaide. The school was first opened in 1983 and is located on a working cattle station. Pastoral activities continue to be undertaken in Kenmore Park.
The school caters for students from Birth to Year 12 and boasts low levels of student absenteeism and a strong community presence. The school follows the DECD and PYEC Curriculum directive focusing on Numeracy, Literacy, Science and Anangu Domain. Teachers use Big Six of reading in Literacy and Natural Maths Numeracy pedagogy. There is also strong focus on assessment and tracking and monitoring of student learning. All classes use interactive white boards and other mediums to capture and develop children’s interest.
The school has access to a local orchid which is highly valued by the community as a source of fresh fruit. The orchid is used for various school activities from cooking to business studies and is often accessed to provide the students with recess.
