About this school, from public sources
Public online sources describe Nyirripi School as a small government combined school serving the remote Warlpiri community of Nyirripi in the Tanami region of the Northern Territory, roughly 440km from Alice Springs. It enrols students from transition through the older primary/secondary years, with a small overall student population and a notably low student-to-teacher ratio. As a remote NT public school, it is linked to the Territory's remote-teaching support and recruitment programs.
