Reflecting traditional learning where young women learn from older women, our elders desire that a significant part of the school day is dedicated to young women learning together. Guided by the Australian Curriculum, traditional ancient knowledge and a biblical worldview, the Yawirriny’gu Teacher will champion the areas of raypirrimirr (having discipline), marŋgikunhamirr (having/giving knowledge) and guŋga’yunamirr (giving/receiving help).</p><p><i><strong>Culture</strong></i><br /><i>&#34;Living and working remote is a calling that must be taken out of obedience and trust in the Triune God. All the support in the world will be found lacking if one’s security is not in God Himself. Honesty is our starting point. Those who come for a life of comfort will not find it here. Whilst beautiful, Gäwa is a battlefield, and we fight for turning hearts towards Jesus and His Kingdom. God calls us to faithfulness and community.
