How MENPS Kids Can Participate
The Art Show is a fundraising activity for the Mount Eliza North Primary School. Profits raised will be used towards improving school facilities and services to enhance the educational future of students.
While we display over $450,000 of professional art and products, we also celebrate our talented MENPS students through our student art competition, market stalls and musical performances!
