Courage / Integrity / Strength

We are located in the small outback township of Marree approximately 680km north of Adelaide at the junction of the Birdsville and Oodnadatta tracks and was established in 1883.

The population of approximately 60 permanent residents derive from Aboriginal, Afghan and European heritage. Marree is the home of the Arabana and Dieri people.

Marree was originally known as Hergott Springs when the town was surveyed in 1883. Marree is an important service centre for the large sheep and cattle stations in northeast South Australia as well as a stopover destination for tourists traveling along the Birdsville or Oodnadatta Tracks.

Marree Aboriginal School is a unique and inclusive school catering for education needs from babies and toddlers in the creche, preschool and then school from reception to year 12. Students are able to successfully complete their SACE onsite through face to face teaching. A positive future pathway for our students is always a priority and is embedded in our practice as a school.
