The Kundat Djaru community consists of people displaced from the surrounding pastoral leases in 1967.

The people then camped in Halls Creek and were given State Government assistance to move to Kundat Djaru which was made a permanent reserve in 1982.

The school is an integral part of life for the Kundat Djaru people with an enrolment of about 27 students from Pre-Kindy to Yr 6.

Teachers and Aboriginal teacher assistants work collaboratively in providing a holistic education which encompasses the key learning areas of the curriculum whilst catering for the remoteness of the Yaruman situation and continuing the language, culture and traditions of the Jaru people.

The community boasts a store that also sells fuel and a small clinic that is staffed by one nurse and a doctor who visits half a day per fortnight.
