Nambucca Heads High School

Pauline Hooler teaches Year 7 and 8 every Thursday Gumbaynggirr language classroom. This classroom was set up in 2008 specifically for language classes.

2008 was the first year an Aboriginal language has been included in the Language Other Than English (LOTE) program. It is compulsory for everyone in Year 7 to complete 100 hours per year to receive a Certificate II in Gumbaynggirr Language.

A partnership between Board of Studies, Bowraville Central School and Nambucca High School has been formed to write the Stage 4 program for Gumbaynggirr Language. This program was implemented in 2008 for Year 7 students.
