Mural theme:
The journey.

Background to mural creation:
All of us have a personal journey through life and some may appear to have more obstacles to overcome than others, such as the children of Kowhai Special School. There was a desperate need for colour and a story to distract the eye away from the institutional architecture. The mural is divided into four parts - turangawaewae, a growing journey, nurturing mentor and seeding ideas.
