Who We Are:

Aurukun State School is a Kindy to Year 12 school, located in the remote Indigenous community of Aurukun. Situated on the northwest coast of the Cape York Peninsula, Aurukun lies around 11 hours by road from Cairns and 2 hours from Weipa.

    and effective running of the school

  • Work in a specialised environment, requiring the development of operational methods, policies, practices and standards to support the school's administrative function, and where problem resolution is frequent (demanding the conceptualisation, identification and development of ideas, detailed analysis of alternative courses of action and devising action plans to overcome the challenges of a complex school environment).
