Background to mural creation:
Children submitted their pictures with a seascape theme and their ideas and a selection of these were incorporated into the design of the mural. The mural was designed to give the children a chance to actively influence their emotional and creative experience of that space. The pool, right next to the mural, is a dynamic part of the school and the tremendous fun that the children experience here is now reflected and heightened by the colourful backdrop of the mural, which was once just a black white wall. The mural inspired all people involved with the confidence to take on big creative projects and succeed. All team members participated in the painting of the mural.
