Public online sources describe Milingimbi School as a government combined school on Yurrwi Island in north-east Arnhem Land, serving around 300 students from early years through senior secondary. Established in the 1920s, it became one of the Northern Territory's first bilingual schools in 1973, teaching in local languages including Djambarrpuyŋu alongside English, and marked 50 years of bilingual education in 2023. The school also supports three Homeland Learning Centres serving surrounding communities.
