Students from St Mary's Primary School and Hay Public School, together with their Year 10 mentors from Hay War Memorial High School have just spent the last six months immersed in another successful program to highlight the plight of our local and elusive, native bird, the Plains-wanderer.

The Plains-wanderer is an extremely endangered species that inhabits the vast Hay Plains. At only around 15cm tall and almost flightless, the Plains-wanderer is vulnerable to many predators such as birds of prey, foxes and cats.

Hay farewells school principals Lindy Stewart and Vince Campbell.
