23.01.2022 Get the little ones in the kitchen with these quick, easy and colourful chicken kebabs Just grab some chicken, zucchini, onion, red, yellow and green capsicums, cut them all into chunks and thread them onto skewers. Grill them on the BBQ or stove for 5-7 minutes each side and dinner's done!

22.01.2022 Congratulations to Biripi woman, Tammy Anderson, Principal of Briar Road Public School on her great work bringing school staff and Aboriginal families together to focus on children’s strengths. Do you know someone who should be nominated this year? https://www.facebook.com//a.360626021227/10159251060936228/

20.01.2022 Giinagay mob! Ever wondered where the name Windaan comes from? It's from the Gumbaynggirr language meaning ‘blady grass’ a grass used widely in traditional Aboriginal weaving practices. Alone it represents individual strands of grass. However, when woven together in partnership with other strands, it forms a strong material used for thatching shelters, weaving bags and other items of importance and value. The Windaan logo directly symbolises the meaning and strength of intertwining blady grass. That's what we're here for, to work together and build a network of support for you and your mob. #strongertogether

He went on to become the Assistant Principal and then Principal at Yirrkala Community School in 1989 and 1990 respectively.

Experts can assess your child, help determine the cause of the behaviour and provide strategies to help. Call us on 1800 WINDAAN and let's yarn.
