Background to mural creation:
The mural was designed to beautify the school and present the talented and gifted artists of Stanmore Bay an opportunity to create a public work for their school.

Once selected the children were split into three smaller groups, which each spent one block each week working on the mural. The first three sessions focused on resource imagery of local birds, flowers, fauna and landscape. After four sessions the children had created more than enough paintings to compose the final composition. The final mural is a collage of the children’s observational painting arrange in a scene that depicts a summer’s day from the viewpoint of Stanmore Bay.
