08.01.2022 Thank you Bunnings Warehouse Padstow for your generous donation to Menai Public School! Our awesome team of students from K-6 known as the ‘Eco-Heroes’ are working hard to protect the environment by recycling.

NAIDOC Week celebrations are held around the country each July (and in 2020 held in November) to celebrate the history, culture and achievements of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples.

Our students attended an Aboriginal Workshop where they learnt about artefacts and importance of Country. Always was, Always will be #naidocweek2020 #NAIDOCWeek #alwayswasalwayswillbe
