Yulara School
Yulara School was opened in 1984 and caters for students from Transition to Year 12. The school’s student enrolment is drawn from the families of Ayers Rock Resort and Uluru-Kata Tjuta National Park. Consequently, the school is categorised as ‘urban remote’. The student population includes students from diverse locations throughout Australia and internationally. Indigenous students from the Mutitjulu Community and Rangerville also attend the school.
Enrolment numbers at the school may vary throughout the year in response to seasonal fluctuations in the tourism industry. Primary students attend classes face-to-face as for any mainstream school.
Two dedicated digital classrooms cater for secondary students from Years 7-9 to access remote learning from Alice Springs School of the Air (ASSOA), and Years 10-12 from Northern Territory School of Distance Education (NTSDE) in Darwin.
The school’s physical infrastructure includes four classrooms, a small library, a school administration building, a student ablutions block/canteen area and a covered school assembly area. The central area of the school is a shaded courtyard which is defined by the major buildings.
The school property lies between Yulara Childcare Centre and the Adult Education Centre. A plan is in place for removal of three dongas currently situated on the school oval and a new secondary double classroom to be installed in the vacant land between Yulara School and Yulara Childcare Centre.
