Through the school's 'The sea is our best friend' initiative, students regularly get sandy-handed ... learning about wildlife, planting mangroves - and, yes, running gleefully along the sand.

🎥 We love seeing our schools featured in the news as leading examples of best practice in action. 🙌
Channel 10 News showcased St Monica’s Primary School, Footscray, as a leading example of how schools are strengthening student wellbeing through the Mental Health in Primary Schools (MHiPS) initiative. 💪ðŸ§
We’re delighted the state’s Education Minister, Ben Carroll, chose St Monica’s to highlight this important program, which supports schools to employ a Mental Health and Wellbeing Leader.
At MACS, we know it’s critical to create school environments where every child feels supported and connected so they flourish. 💙
