About our school
We desire our students and staff to ‘know and learn the truth’ by being part of a learning community where God is glorified in everything we do.
Gäwa Christian School is located on Elcho Island, in Warramiri land. As well as training students in God’s law and teaching the Northern Territory school curriculum, we seek to preserve Warramiri knowledge and the gifts of the wider Yolŋu culture.
