Mural theme:
Pou whenua.

Background to mural creation:
This installation art piece reflects the many people and cultures at the school.  The finished project is a collection of 7 pou whenua.  Traditionally, pou whenua (land posts) are carved wooden posts used to mark places of significance.  Each tells a story acknowledging the association between people and the place where they reside.

The students wanted to create a piece of art where they could see, go to, walk around and feel like they were one together and belonged.

The project started with 4 pou whenua but quickly expanded to 7 as the group learned how many cultures were represented in the school. 

As well as flags and cultures, adorning the brightly-coloured wooden pou are attributes that the students felt were important for students to show towards each other – inclusion, kindness and unity as well as the RISE school values – Resilience, Integrity, Sense of self and Empathy.

The pou whenua will be added to over the years as the school community changes, grows and diversifies.

This installation art piece reflects the many people and cultures at the school.
