Our Vision

Discovering our place in the world through an adventurous education

Our Mission

Provide high quality education in a safe, respectful and inclusive environment in Central Australia that inspires lifelong learning and holistic character development.

In everything we do, we live the values of Honesty, Engagement, Acceptance, Respect and Trust inspired by our Christian ethos and our place locally and globally.

We acknowledge the Arrernte people as the traditional custodians and first educators of Mparntwe. Our school is home to students from nations all around the world. We ‘strive’ to work with and continue learning from First Nations people. We ‘seek’ to be a part of Australia’s reconciliation journey by engaging in truth-telling. We aim to ‘care’ for Country through connection and environmental education. We pay our respects to elders past and present and thank them for their care of Country and sharing of knowledge.
