The Learning on Country program is delivered in partnership with the Northern Land Council, the Thamarrurr Rangers and Traditional Owners. It has a key focus on senior secondary students. The teaching and learning programs are developed collaboratively between school and Ranger staff, with a focus on field-based activity, drawing on traditional and western knowledge systems. Activities include a wide range of Ranger groups' projects and responsibilities around land and sea management and are modelled by cultural knowledge as directed by Traditional Owners.

School and Ranger staff draw on traditional and western knowledge systems to develop integrated field and classroom-based activities. In this way, Learning on Country students have a culturally appropriate education and a clear pathway to employment. Field workshops and school-based learning activities are linked directly to NTCET, Australian Curriculum and VET Certificate outcomes.
