Kalkaringi School serves the very remote Northern Territory communities of Kalkaringi and Daguragu, and is located in the community of Kalkaringi, 480km southwest of Katherine.

Daguragu community is 8 km to the west of Kalkaringi. The combined population of the two communities is approximately 750 people.


The Gurindji people are the traditional owners of the land. In 1966 Gurindji workers on Wave Hill Station went on strike over wages and conditions. The famous 'Wave Hill Walk Off' followed and is attributed to the start of the land rights movement in Australia.
