TG's educators with local indigenous artist Jamie Donovan
rilliant-Online had the pleasure of catching up with local indigenous artist Jamie Donovan to have a chat about his design for TG’s Child Care’s Staff uniform.
Jamie’s day job is a Consultant to the Department of Education, where he visits about 43 Public Schools, doing correlations and data collections, working on attendance and getting kids back to school. Outside of work, his art provides him with an opportunity to connect with his culture and share it with his local community and the organisations that he works with. His art is his passion.
Officially conducting the handover of the shirts to staff at the TG's Child Care Hastings Street Early Learning Centre, Jamie told us he was delighted to have been involved. He has a long relationship with the TG’s family and his children have passed through multiple centres in Wauchope over the years. Originally approached by a group of TG’s Educators to design a new uniform for the centres representing culture in the local community, he wanted to keep his association with TG’s going and thought this was a great thing to do. It's not the first time Jamie has shared his creativity with TG's. He also painted the beautiful aboriginal murals at TG's
