Strategic Projects

• The establishment of a Secondary School in the Kings Canyon area. The 'on country' secondary school will provide the children currently attending the Watarrka, Utju Aeryonga and Imanpa Primary Schools the chance to obtain a secondary school education while remaining with their families and staying on their land.
  

• The provision of a new classroom at the existing Watarrka Primary School location to accommodate years 7, 8 and 9 children. There is an urgent requirement for a separate and additional classroom for older students so that they can continue to learn.
  

• The establishment of a 100 citrus tree orchard along the eastern boundary of the Watarrka Primary School.   The orchard will provide a supply of fresh produce for the school children and act as a windbreak for the schools playground.
