Welcome to Oodnadatta Aboriginal School

Oodnadatta Aboriginal School is located at Oodnadatta near the western edge of the Simpson desert in the far north of
South Australia. The learning community is built on trust and respect. We believe that education is the cornerstone of the
future; teaching and learning are a life long process. High expectations are set for all staff and students. The school aims to provide a balanced curriculum and has developed a specific literacy and numeracy plan. Individual learning plans are in place
for each student. Positive relationships with students provide the foundation for planning, teaching and learning. Student attendance and participation is a priority and parents and caregivers are encouraged to participate in a number of class
based activities.

The school is air conditioned and features a large swimming pool, playground equipment, a creche that provides school
hours care for children between the ages of 0-5 years, a well appointed library, tech studies shed, large grassed oval,
paved quadrangle and a flood kit basketball court for night games. Students are proud of their sporting prowess and
actively engage in sporting activities
