Student artworks to spread joy during construction

To celebrate works powering ahead on the new Barwon Women’s and Children’s, the Victorian Health Building Authority and Barwon Health recently asked our Grade 2 to 4 students to get creative.  Students were tasked with creating artworks inspired by the theme “What makes me happy when I’m unwell”.

A big congratulations to Elsie L from 4JS whose artwork was selected to be part of a new mural located outside University Hospital Geelong’s main entrance – near where construction is taking place.  Her work sits alongside 15 other artworks from young budding artists across the Barwon South West region. There’s no doubt this feel-good mural will put smiles on the faces of hospital staff, patients and visitors when they pass by it during construction.

The $500 million Barwon Women’s and Children’s will provide more women’s (including maternity) and children’s health facilities to ensure families in Geelong and surrounding communities can continue to access the very best care, close to home.

This includes a new children’s inpatient unit, new neonatal and parent care unit, specialist clinics and more operating theatres.

Well done Elsie!
