Background to mural creation:
To join with school studies on children of the world and to open children's minds to the beauty of New Zealand within the world as a whole. The idea was inspired by the teachers' plans to discover how children live in different countries of the world and to research this topic in class. On a personal level, Robin wanted the children to wake up every morning and think how lucky they are to live in such an awesome place but remember there is a big, beautiful world out there and not to be too afraid to explore it or learn about it. Robin created the mural as a gift to the school in time off from his normal day-to-day job.
