At Kururrungku we teach the ‘Jesus’ way and the ‘Aboriginal’ way. Both are respected in the spirit of two-way learning, to develop the total person. Our aim is to guide each individual to walk tall and proud, and to develop into the person they were created to be.

History Of Kururrungku Catholic Education Centre
In 1978, the Walmajarri people took over the lease of Billiluna and Lake Gregory (Mulan) stations from the Federal Government. The area was initially tribal lands of the Walmajarri people.
Upon receiving the land, the people asked for the facilities needed to run their communities. Such facilities included a school. After consultation with both the Government and Catholic Education systems, the communities decided they would like a Catholic school to be established in each community of Billiluna and Mulan.
