Alawa Primary School is located in the northern suburbs of Darwin. The school caters for children from Preschool (who may be 3½ but must turn 4 by the 30th June) to year 6. Alawa was established in 1970. In 2006 Stage 1, a $2.1 million project opened. The classrooms were designed to enhance our vision. This year we are designing a $2 million special purpose Strong Beginnings wing to further enhance our vision.
