OUR EDUCATIONAL APPROACH
At Broome Enterprise Academy, education is grounded in place. Every subject follows the Western Australian Curriculum, but we bring it to life through the landscapes, histories, and cultures of the Kimberley. Students don’t just learn abstract concepts in a classroom—they experience them on Country, in workshops, kitchens, gardens, and through real community projects.
This place-based approach means students explore English through Kimberley stories and oral histories, learn Science by classifying local plants and animals or studying tides and seasons alongside Aboriginal ecological knowledge, and study History and Social Sciences by uncovering Kimberley histories like the 1905 Aborigines Act or the bombing of Broome. Mathematics becomes meaningful through practical applications linked to trades, enterprise, and local industry, while Health and Physical Education connects identity, wellbeing, and kinship to local culture and Country.
By embedding Aboriginal knowledge systems, sustainability practices, and Broome’s multicultural history across the curriculum, we are creating a school where education is both rigorous and deeply relevant. This approach ensures students gain academic skills, vocational pathways in hospitality, horticulture, media, engineering, and automotive, and most importantly, a strong sense of identity, pride, and purpose.
