The name “Wulagi” pays homage to the Wurlaki tribe of Central Arnhem Land, symbolizing a deep connection to the local Indigenous culture and history. By signing a Memorandum of Understanding with the Wurlaki people in 2018, Wulagi School reaffirmed its commitment to honoring this significant relationship. With a focus on collaboration, respect, and best-practice learning environments, Wulagi Primary School continues to be a cornerstone of education, nurturing students and families towards a positive and productive connection to school learning.
