Hymba Yumba Independent School opened in 2011. It was established by Uncle Albert Holt and is based on Indigenous culture. The name comes from the Bidjara language with Hymba referring to the skills such as listening and reflecting while Yumba refers to building and refers to both the creation of the physical premises and the creation of a community around the school. When it first opened, there were 50 students enrolled with 8 staff.[9]
