New Mural

Parents may have noticed a new mural appear on the wall near our chess board.

This mural was commissioned by our Year 6 students as a result of their fund raising from the last two Market Place events, held by Year 6 students in Term Two.

The art was produced by indigenous artist, Merinda-Gunya (Bayley Mifsud).  

Bayley Mifsud is a contemporary Aboriginal artist born in the country town of Warrnambool, located in South-West Victoria. She takes great pride in her heritage as a descendant of the Peek and Kirrae Whurrong clans. 

Her Aboriginal name is Merindah-Gunya meaning “Beautiful Spirit” in Peek Whurrong language, which was gifted to her through a naming ceremony on Country, supported by her Elders and community. 

Bayley has a passion for community development, diversity and self-determination as well as continuing the gift of storytelling through her artwork. 

Bayley now lives on Wurundjeri Country in Naarm (Melbourne) and has lived a large portion of her life there. 

Bayley was taught Aboriginal art at a very young age, by her Elders at the Brambuk Cultural Centre in the Grampians in Victoria.

 Our Mural represents:

 Big circle in the middle of the mural represents our school as a meeting place.

The arches along the bottom are journey lines that our students go through from Prep to Year 6, as there are 7 along the bottom.

The journey lines coming into the meeting place represent the future and past students coming in and out of the school.

We would like to thank Bayley for contributing to the beauty and values of our school.
