Team:
Jil of Aotearoa (Jil Sergeant) and Ruby Moon Dog.
Accessible to public:
Yes.
Mural theme:
Hopskotch Island.
Background to mural creation:
Hopskotch Island, the mural, was created to brighten the school
and add fun learning activities for the children, enabling them
to extend their imagination... from their faith, to native bush,
to island, to ocean and beyond.
The children asked for a Christian theme including St Mathew
himself plus native birds and children. In keeping with these
requests, the background features a large window taken from an
entrance of St Mathews Church itself, used in the daily functioning
of the school.
A child peers out from the bush to discover footprints in the
sand... there is someone else on the island... a footprint hopscotch
surrounded by Pacific Ocean... the games begin.
