P&F General Meeting: Parnngurr Community School

The St Mark's Parents and Friends' Association is delighted to be welcoming Dr Prem Mudhan, Principal of Parnngurr Community School as the Guest Speaker for the P&F General Meeting on 14 September 2021.  

Parnngurr is a remote West Australian Indigenous Community on the edge of the Great Sandy Desert. It is the home of 150 Martu people whose ancestors have been here since the beginning of the Dreaming. The community is built in the shadow of twin hills with particular significance to the people and sits at the southern end of the Karlamilyi (Rudall River) National Park, 380 km’s north, north-east of Newman on a maintained unsealed road.

Parnngurr Community School aims to develop strong young Martu men and women by ensuring they attain educational outcomes that will provide them with a wide range of life opportunities while valuing their Indigenous culture.

St Mark's and the Parnngurr Community School are delighted to be working together to build relationships between our young people, and this event provides a fantastic opportunity to learn more about the two-way learning program at the School.  This will be of particular interest to the Year 8 families who have expressed interest in the 2022 visit to the region.
