Raukkan Aboriginal School is situated on the lands of the Ngarrindjeri people. The school is part of a community that has functioned for 150 years and is located on the shores of Lake Alexandrina, part of the Lower Murray and Lakes region. It is a rural community, affected by drought; the nearest town is 40km away.

The learning environment is supportive and positive. As the Ngarrindjeri language revives, new curriculum areas and teaching strategies are being developed to meet the needs of the students. With a program that is contextual, communal and innovative individual students have the opportunity to achieve their personal best.

We have a strong focus on literacy, especially reading, and we assure students are competent to meet the technological demands for innovative and quality learning. We aim for quality in preference to quantity. Music, drama and arts are offered through workshop electives. The school 'Homework Centre' provides curriculum and after-school clubs such as 'caring for our community' and the 'book club'. It also caters for older students who attend the high school, some 40km away by supporting them with computer facilities and study.
