NOONGAR students will have the opportunity of a better education when after-school study classes start next term.

The classes for primary school-aged students will be held at Amaroo Primary School for Noongar youngsters from Amaroo, Fairview and Wilson Park.

Classes will start in the second week of next term and run from 3pm until 4.30pm.

One of the organisers, Christina Ugle said parents and students would be involved.

“The main thing is for indigenous parents of the importance of education with Aboriginal students,” she said.

“There will also be language sessions, Aboriginal dancing and art and craft,” she said.
