JUNIOR SCHOOL ART MURAL

In what can only be described as one of the most colourful rooms you’ll come across, the Art classroom at our Chidley Campus is a sight to be seen. It showcases the amazing work of our proud Junior School students under the guidance of our talented Art Teacher Teresa Richards.

At St Hilda’s we nurture relationships, the St Hilda’s spirit and the part we play in the global community, so to support this core value Teresa designed a collaborative mural titled ‘Belonging’. Teresa wanted each student to participate and produce a symbol of themselves in the classroom as a collective piece. Each panel of the mural includes a mix of student work across diff erent year levels.

Flowers are an international symbol of nature, friendship, gratitude, love and happiness, so these were chosen as the main element. The fl owers add colour and life to the space and being on acetate paper means the light shines through and around them.

Junior School staff were also asked to contribute to the mural with an image of a bee, creating a symbol of their connection to the students, and the assistance they bring in fostering student learning.

The collective art mural will remain in the Art Room over the course of the year.
