Storylines traveled to Menindee to catch up with the mob from Menindee Central School – what a contrast from the city! Daniel Fusi gave us a tour around the community, and we had the chance to sit down for a yarn with him.

Take a look at the interview we had with Daniel and see if you can answer these questions:

• How far is Menindee from Sydney?
• How many people live in Menindee?
• How many kids attend the school?
• How many Indigenous students are enrolled at the school?
• What time do the shops close?
• Where did Daniel grow up?
• In which town was Daniel born?
• Where did Daniel complete his schooling?
• What does Daniel like about Menindee?
• What is his role at the school?
• What does he do in the school?
• What does he want the kids to achieve?
• What do the kids enjoy about the school?
• What programs are offered at the school?
• What do ex-students do after graduating?
• Where have students moved to after leaving school?
