Background to mural creation:
The graduating year 8 students joined together to create a whimsical mural that would go into the junior area near the colourful new playground. They took inspiration from the folk art paintings of Karla Gerard. The children were inspired by bright colours and the fantasy world created by crazy patterns and curved lines.
