Many schools in remote Aboriginal communities struggle with attendance. That is not the case at Alpurrurulam Preschool, near the Queensland-Northern Territory border. The preschool is now being featured in a national study because of its success with attendance and enrolments.

The Northern Territory Department of Education says Alpurrurulam Preschool has shown "significant increases" in enrolment since 2011.

Part of the success is being attributed to having a qualified preschool teacher at the school.

Teacher Janet Broad focuses her classes on learning through play.
