Face-Painting Practice

Year 3 Red students had fun this week getting their faces painted by the Year 9 Art class who where practising their face-painting and make-up skills. The students loved their face-painted designs and had an awesome time hanging out with some of the Year 9 students. A big 'Thank You' to Ms Rachael Knight for organising this 🥰
