about us

The Nawarddeken Academy offers a unique model of bi-cultural, community-driven education in remote Indigenous communities in west Arnhem Land. The Nawarddeken Academy was established at the request of local Indigenous elders, who wanted desperately for children to be able to access fulltime education in their home communities. 

Based in the Warddeken Indigenous Protected Area (IPA), the Nawarddeken Academy began in 2015 at the community of Kabulwarnamyo as a one-teacher classroom under a tarp, with minimal resources. Since these humble beginnings we have grown and thrived, now operating three registered independent schools at Kabulwarnamyo (registered in early 2019), Manmoyi and Mamardawerre (registered in late 2021).  

about the role

An incredible teaching opportunity is now available to take on within our growing organisation, based at Manmoyi community within the Warddeken Indigenous Protected Area (IPA), in remote West Arnhem Land.

The Nawarddeken Academy is seeking an educator who can develop strong relationships within the Warddeken community in a region that is exceptional in its natural and cultural value and breath taking in its beauty.

Whilst being extraordinarily remote, the lifestyle is fantastic and the work challenging yet personally rewarding. This is truly a rare opportunity to work at the cutting edge with an exceptional Indigenous organisation.
