Pertame School needs our help!

Christobel Swan

This is Christobel Swan, a respected Elder and founder of the Perfume School, a community-led language revival program empowering Pertame Elders to pass their language and cultural knowledge onto the next generation.⁠

⁠There are currently around 20-30 fluent speakers of Pertame still with us, all within the grandparent and great grandparent generation. Without serious action, Pertame will be lost within the next generation.⁠

We are pleased to be assisting the Pertame School with their campaign to raise funds to build a school on Country south of Alice Springs. Our role is pro bono and involves the development of a design brief and grant writing. Time is critical with this project and if you are able, we ask that you consider making a donation to the school here .
