We will raise our next generation of Pertame children as secure, connected and healthy people immersed within their language. We aim to create an intentional community, a village to raise our babies together, where we will maintain the highest standards of health, education, care and wellbeing, straight from our traditional knowledge. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6285e26a7cdd7d461fc9b9af/36ce191c-ce77-4386-a1f8-be0f1440b002/52978433970_a895e30bff_o.jpg Our Approach - Mother Tongue To raise a whole Pertame child, it is critical that we support their mothers, grandmothers, family and community. There is a reason our Indigenous language is called our Mother Tongue. Mothers are the single most important person in a growing child’s life. Mothers are the givers of our life breath. The words a mother speaks to her baby are the most formative for the language that the child will speak. This is why we focus on supporting young mothers and carers to become fluent speakers, empowering them to raise their children in Pertame. We also build up a system of support around our young mothers to help them reclaim their Pertame language and fulfill their cultural responsibilities with the backing of a whole community beside them. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6285e26a7cdd7d461fc9b9af/5a097230-b07f-4359-9123-03a8b9660132/Facebook+cover+page.jpg Our Approach https://www.pertameschool.org/our-team daily 0.75 2026-02-16 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6285e26a7cdd7d461fc9b9af/d44660df-e91c-4787-86f1-0d236684a9dd/53091926337_db53e9934a_o.jpg Our Team https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6285e26a7cdd7d461fc9b9af/5f4f24ee-030a-40aa-a15c-50fa847ae906/51720056222_ba8891a258_o.jpg Our Team https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6285e26a7cdd7d461fc9b9af/3bc95ee0-20fa-4c0c-8627-6930c0f4502f/53333546430_21ea6e09e3_o.jpg Our Team https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6285e26a7cdd7d461fc9b9af/5a49c88a-3f49-44dc-8005-873b1b0e4072/53156458879_ea6aa5cf54_o.jpg Our Team https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6285e26a7cdd7d461fc9b9af/7505d98f-9d81-4c6a-937c-a8de5e36ad74/52794438861_c51beda495_o.jpg Our Team https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6285e26a7cdd7d461fc9b9af/d6361a1f-86ff-45ad-8820-5b8d69de397b/53320085694_cd2067d5f0_o.jpg Our Team https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6285e26a7cdd7d461fc9b9af/656e68ac-7f67-490d-91f9-a1e33b5dcf5d/53299245746_5f0681c2f0_o.jpg Our Team https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6285e26a7cdd7d461fc9b9af/310ed0c0-f933-4005-b5c4-1fd123b7f6bb/54151619162_f982760ebd_o.jpg Our Team https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6285e26a7cdd7d461fc9b9af/d17053d7-4c4d-4934-a8d6-02bdd6ab8e33/54200654991_c732cc52e4_o.jpg Our Team https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6285e26a7cdd7d461fc9b9af/103948dc-9cba-4bc4-93e0-d5e8cd326344/54090969757_08aa1f884f_o.jpg Our Team https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6285e26a7cdd7d461fc9b9af/aa78768d-233b-40fd-989c-a22e448d2f8b/54739256842_3cc6de7735_o.jpg Our Team https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6285e26a7cdd7d461fc9b9af/31110896-7b57-4a10-9cc8-7121bbde8a4e/55080862218_0723e53ab7_o.jpg Our Team https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6285e26a7cdd7d461fc9b9af/853e7b0b-37fb-4b88-9971-4bd1854752aa/54186398560_4ede4882fd_o.jpg Our Team https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6285e26a7cdd7d461fc9b9af/a312489c-b0ed-4309-a6bb-e10e45304cc8/55080675986_a93c5dee5d_o.jpg Our Team https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6285e26a7cdd7d461fc9b9af/fcb9107b-60f2-4ca4-b6b7-e53bf40c011e/55080667756_5d5d03efd3_o.jpg Our Team https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6285e26a7cdd7d461fc9b9af/130ce11e-f914-45bb-b476-fd3c14c2669a/52160186475_e939eb5134_o.jpg Our Team https://www.pertameschool.org/master-apprentice-program daily 0.75 2024-02-26 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6285e26a7cdd7d461fc9b9af/e563e3f4-53c7-4ca2-9ea6-90ba1be14781/52295308438_160ef6fd83_o.jpg Master Apprentice Program https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6285e26a7cdd7d461fc9b9af/82d745e0-fec3-40cf-bc5f-b6308847c33f/52279957841_e2a6d01e91_o.jpg Master Apprentice Program https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6285e26a7cdd7d461fc9b9af/78effcd4-0ffc-4470-aa43-cc5938bda254/52280071724_533b70cd2f_o.jpg Master Apprentice Program https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6285e26a7cdd7d461fc9b9af/61c4d4b9-8fb8-4cc2-990f-5b804e234299/52280433670_32babce3f5_o.jpg Master Apprentice Program https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6285e26a7cdd7d461fc9b9af/6db1059a-fb79-4337-9d81-fb13c64a4d8a/52295804655_54b34d973c_o.jpg Master Apprentice Program https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6285e26a7cdd7d461fc9b9af/611eeb9b-be38-4dcc-8eaf-c712998cae66/52490326188_b693f119e4_o.jpg Master Apprentice Program https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6285e26a7cdd7d461fc9b9af/85454d48-b2d7-467f-81fb-9e121beb7a80/52455719068_ed981d06f2_o.jpg Master Apprentice Program https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6285e26a7cdd7d461fc9b9af/8e386656-d0f0-4d37-b58e-135546506fea/52455697318_6cfc636b7e_o.jpg Master Apprentice Program https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6285e26a7cdd7d461fc9b9af/90c296f9-48cc-4bc2-8de1-b806357ac57f/52015579145_b2138f51bf_o.jpg Master Apprentice Program - The Master-Apprentice Program (MAP) The Master-Apprentice Program (MAP) is a world leading method of Indigenous language revival that was developed by Indigenous communities in California and has since been taken up by First Nations peoples globally. The methodology is outlined in Hinton, L. (2002) How to keep language alive: a commonsense approach to one-on-one language learning. The MAP model grows new fluent speakers through intensive oral immersion sessions with Elder speakers (the master) and adult learners (apprentices). Elders and apprentices are to spend 10-20 hours together each week, talking nothing but their Indigenous language to recreate natural intergenerational transmission babies would receive when acquiring their first language. We are returning to our old, pre-invasion pedagogies of listening, talking and gaining understanding as learners from our Elders, to transmit the full-life of our languages. MAPs teach not through explicit instruction but through immersion and experience. Our Elders are our most precious resource. We see our language as a gift from our ancestors, and accept our responsibility to continue their legacy to bring Pertame into the future. Master-apprentice programs are recognised internationally and within Australia as the best practise method for saving endangered Indigenous languages with few remaining fluent speakers. The AIATSIS National Indigenous Language report recommended MAPs as showing “notable success” internationally . Additionally, the 2012 Our Land Our Languages gave high-level recognition to the value of the MAPs and recommended its widespread application around Australia. Despite this, the Pertame MAP is currently the only active MAP in Australia. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6285e26a7cdd7d461fc9b9af/30596305-3548-4311-b15f-4c6f2163ac48/57987810_10213232897992263_2135217337366740992_n.jpeg Master Apprentice Program - International Connections The Pertame School embarked on the Master-Apprentice program in 2020 after two Pertame representatives were invited to New York by the Global Indigenous Language Caucus to receive training in the Master-Apprentice process. Through this training they developed international networks with the Yuchi Language Project in Oklahoma, the Advocates of Indigenous Californian Language Survival, the Sauk Language Program and the Kumeyaay Community College in San Diego. In January 2022, two Pertame apprentices travelled to the Cherokee Nation to present at the UN International Decade of Indigenous Languages Launch Event. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6285e26a7cdd7d461fc9b9af/1e5a78e9-3c30-4405-9a0b-53960206d728/Untitled+design.jpg https://www.pertameschool.org/home daily 1.0 2025-02-07 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6285e26a7cdd7d461fc9b9af/949d2f96-447c-4878-88d0-5655a4dbc164/53179285966_4c3bd9f759_o.jpg Home https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6285e26a7cdd7d461fc9b9af/dc78010b-ad6f-4707-baed-7f34810b1c6e/53202979018_eeb68e415d_o.jpg Home https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6285e26a7cdd7d461fc9b9af/8087be5a-287e-4ea8-9e0a-30c241330867/53365986610_1a9a080bb3_o.jpg Home https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6285e26a7cdd7d461fc9b9af/de61f67f-1a91-4d72-932b-a491d8391e80/53260264527_1cdbe047f0_o.jpg Home https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6285e26a7cdd7d461fc9b9af/21d6180c-b6d8-401f-9eb5-8913a311a255/53317549801_1680e3b553_o.jpg Home https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6285e26a7cdd7d461fc9b9af/c2665157-d873-48a5-8528-ecbf89904007/53378902218_38a98ed4cb_o.jpg Home https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6285e26a7cdd7d461fc9b9af/578d38e0-1e0a-4b7f-a12a-2d95d0405ec9/54151619162_f982760ebd_o.jpg Home https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6285e26a7cdd7d461fc9b9af/2a8701e5-817b-4c55-9df6-74bf85ede19c/52015061511_2980a5999d_o.jpg Home - Christobel’s Dream “It is my dream to teach my children, grandchildren and great grandchildren our language and show our culture to them so they can think and talk in Pertame.

Who? The Language Nest is open to Pertame 0-5 year olds and their parents or carers. This is a playgroup, not a childcare. The idea is for our babies' parents/carers to learn Pertame alongside their baby, support their baby through Nest and then continue to speak language in their homes. Our Nest is led by Pertame educators and guided by fluent Elders. We often have multiple generations of our children's carers supporting them in the Nest, from their parents to their great-grandparents. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6285e26a7cdd7d461fc9b9af/a5ef0ed8-8a4a-42c4-9e82-102967710325/54975259570_347d5e6005_o.jpg Pertame Ngketja Untja (Pertame Language Nest) - Where? The Pertame Language Nest is located at the Desert knowledge Precinct. We have a bus service picking up parents, carers and children to come to get to the Nest. Our bus is fully equipped with infant seats, ensuring the safest transport to and from the Language Nest. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6285e26a7cdd7d461fc9b9af/0464886d-246e-45a4-8ff7-080172519830/55077797452_f2e2b4a172_o.jpg Pertame Ngketja Untja (Pertame Language Nest) - When? The Language Nest runs 4 days a week, from Tuesday to Friday. The Language Nest starts at 10am and finishes at 2pm. It is important that babies come along to the Nest as much as possible. As the babies need to hear and be completely immersed in Pertame to become fluent speakers. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6285e26a7cdd7d461fc9b9af/4bdc4e11-98f5-4c5b-9837-f657a3cc973e/55079050660_6e717d28c1_o.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6285e26a7cdd7d461fc9b9af/c3f1d251-5d05-46b2-9d67-47d84d00837c/55079772607_02b5cd44b0_o.jpg https://www.pertameschool.org/our-strategy-1 daily 0.75 2024-02-23 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6285e26a7cdd7d461fc9b9af/227e5122-9b14-45fe-adee-aa464c0e420a/53261636780_2c612630e6_o.jpg Our Strategy https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6285e26a7cdd7d461fc9b9af/99d95042-fcb5-43a2-8726-75f16ffcaa19/52908730065_edafc77292_o.jpg Our Strategy https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6285e26a7cdd7d461fc9b9af/5667fe75-383b-40d2-9782-f4335b151302/53528451614_4eb8fa384e_o.jpg Our Strategy https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6285e26a7cdd7d461fc9b9af/2cfd68c6-7691-47d2-81fb-f642a3e52638/52978431250_4e5211b83a_o.jpg Our Strategy https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6285e26a7cdd7d461fc9b9af/0472a766-efa4-4899-afb3-a1afe0eac4d4/52082138335_3e86df298f_o.jpg Our Strategy https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6285e26a7cdd7d461fc9b9af/70d21d01-b935-4c64-b59f-494e9cf41a2d/52278825737_9ff142bbcf_o.jpg Our Strategy https://www.pertameschool.org/cultural-goverance daily 0.75 2024-02-24 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6285e26a7cdd7d461fc9b9af/a0625ec5-05c6-47e5-9517-bada026e70e0/53398935458_60a35f9788_o.jpg Cultural Goverance https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6285e26a7cdd7d461fc9b9af/5b7b5a6c-55be-4149-9759-e1fc136dc28c/52017334313_64850dfbd6_o.jpg Cultural Goverance https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6285e26a7cdd7d461fc9b9af/42518188-713d-4f56-9a93-c4181f1d583a/Twenga_488_Image+%281%29.jpg Cultural Goverance https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6285e26a7cdd7d461fc9b9af/dd9af18e-891c-48c5-8b89-e71f6cd37c16/Pertame+2023+Annual+Report+final+with+bleed.jpg https://www.pertameschool.org/on-country daily 0.75 2024-02-27 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6285e26a7cdd7d461fc9b9af/8bac48c6-2496-49b0-b57f-30033c05315f/53179834743_40e274a813_o.jpg On Country https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6285e26a7cdd7d461fc9b9af/8a4158f1-2cba-4ac5-ad06-0460d3a4fb8f/52978207669_e0716a4173_o.jpg On Country https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6285e26a7cdd7d461fc9b9af/7485d8b4-fcb5-4717-b1df-e977f75e0e2c/53156772073_a855fa5a75_o.jpg On Country https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6285e26a7cdd7d461fc9b9af/f3272934-fe2c-4874-aea8-a55c2b5aeeb8/52978433255_8a37664bea_o.jpg On Country https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6285e26a7cdd7d461fc9b9af/3e9a5d84-9cca-4f4d-a999-f7d732b94a91/52978431250_4e5211b83a_o.jpg On Country https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6285e26a7cdd7d461fc9b9af/346f6879-2ab1-4e3f-a09a-e10f55d23359/52806231654_de2788fc35_o.jpg On Country https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6285e26a7cdd7d461fc9b9af/570dc6b7-28d0-4a33-a17a-e839b94ce312/53179832743_204d45d249_o.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6285e26a7cdd7d461fc9b9af/c03bb3e1-93c7-473d-823f-72fd0ae29ac7/download+%282%29.png https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6285e26a7cdd7d461fc9b9af/f116a1ce-2263-427d-82db-ed4f309d65ca/image001.png https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6285e26a7cdd7d461fc9b9af/4c90e36f-b375-4484-b35d-3c664039cea7/53179832530_dc4cfc3668_o.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6285e26a7cdd7d461fc9b9af/a7d17ae9-5dd2-4d96-9680-4bdb76e1a43b/classroom.png https://www.pertameschool.org/donate-now daily 0.75 2024-06-27 https://www.pertameschool.org/donate daily 0.75 2024-07-03 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6285e26a7cdd7d461fc9b9af/4caa6646-ff76-40fd-a627-87725a5d27d8/IMG_6104.JPG https://www.pertameschool.org/learn daily 0.75 2025-02-05 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6285e26a7cdd7d461fc9b9af/2a057c11-1007-4149-b487-15f2796e350a/54181457007_b3428c6616_o.jpg Learn Pertame https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6285e26a7cdd7d461fc9b9af/3436230e-fe2e-4269-a5f0-d2905654b27a/53911785485_f57994e706_o.jpg Learn Pertame https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6285e26a7cdd7d461fc9b9af/3ba9d524-e30e-4fb5-8b83-b052a0a6544b/51831263603_82d3e8fc38_o.jpg Learn Pertame
