Welcome to Murrupurtiyanuwu Catholic Primary School

MCPS is a Catholic Community School located in Wurrumiyanga, Bathurst Island in Northern Territory

We have strong links with the community with our Catholic Aboriginal Leadership team assisting to make all decisions for the school to ensure community voice is heard.

We have a strong community presence with all classrooms supported by local staff.

We offer a quality individualised education centred on social emotional learning and faith.

We believe that strong partnerships with our families, community and community organisations are vital to the success of our students.

Students participate regularly in cultural activities to ensure strong connections to community and so they know their place and can walk with confidence in the world.
