Arrernte Language - Aranda in School

Aranda in School

In most primary schools in Alice Springs, students (of all races and nationalities) are taught Aranda (or in some cases Western Aranda) as a compulsory language, often alongside the French or Indonesian languages. Additionally, most Alice Springs high schools give the option to study Aranda language throughout high school as a separate subject, and it can also be learned at Centralian College as part of a TAFE course. Future plans are that it will be included as a university subject.
