Growing skills through our farm and kitchen program
The Alawa farm is at the heart of school life. Students build responsibility, teamwork and sustainability skills through caring for animals and gardens, while connecting with nature and growing their confidence.
Alawa is different because we connect learning with life. Helping every child discover their potential in a caring, creative and supportive community.
The 21st Century Learner
At Alawa Primary School, our mascot ALLE the Frilled-Neck Lizard represents what it means to be a 21st Century Learner. The frilled-neck lizard is unique to the Northern Territory and is known for its ability to adapt, respond and thrive in changing environments — qualities we want to nurture in our students.
Through ALLE, we teach children about the five key learning tools that help them succeed both at school and in life:
Problem Solve
approaching challenges with curiosity and creativity
Reflect
looking back on learning to celebrate successes and find areas to grow
Communicate
sharing ideas clearly while listening and respecting others
Collaborate
working as a team, valuing each person's contribution
Persist
showing resilience and determination, even when things feel tough
Our learners leave Alawa ready to succeed at school, in their community, and beyond.
