Northern Territory

Our Lady of the Sacred Heart Thamarrurr Catholic School (OLSH) 

OLSH is located 420km south-west of Darwin in Wadeye being one of Australia’s largest remote Indigenous communities with 3000 people from 20+ clans living in the community.

Our volunteers assist at OLSH for a 2 or 4 school term placement. While OLSH is well funded, it can be a challenge to get adequate staff. The volunteers are engaged in many tasks including classroom assistance, co-curricular activities and one-on-one student support. Their contributions are particularly appreciated in peer support and in encouraging school attendance. 

Our volunteers are accommodated in school housing, with a property being allocated for their exclusive use. The Principal of the school is the host of the volunteers. The community at large is extremely welcoming and supportive of the volunteers. Our partners’ welcome provides our volunteers with an unparalleled opportunity to walk side by side with the community.
