Baya Gawiy Garden to Plate Project
The children and educators at Baya Gawiy all play a part in the garden to plate project where they help to grow the plants and care and nurture them until they are ready to pick and eat.
The quality of the education and care being delivered to our Fitzroy Valley families is very impressive. We all feel so good when we come into the centre and see such healthy and engaged children all actively participating in learning, while also having a lot of fun.
Great Work Baya Gawiy Team

Creating Welcoming Spaces
The spaces we work in communicate a lot to the women and their children who come in to Marnin to access supports or just to sit and connect with others or check out the 1000 (many more than 1000 ) dresses :)
If we are able to create spaces that are calming, welcoming and therapeutically designed we are in a good place to have a positive impact on women and their families engaging with the different teams across the organisation .

Connecting to Country
Connecting to Country does wonders for our wellbeing, sense of connection and enjoyment of life. The team have been taking young people on country , listening to what they need and finding ways to support them. Sometimes the best things in life are so simple, we have to make them happen more often, to build our strength and resilience.
We are once again reminded of the healing power of Country.
