A MURAL by an Indigenous artist will be installed at Frankston East Primary School to mark Reconciliation Week.
The artwork was painted by Indigenous artist Kellie Congues. The mural depicts seven classrooms, each completed with help from the students.
Frankston East Primary School acting principal Warren Bull said the “story of the mural is all about community, with students at the centre, and parents and teachers around them.”
“There are seven classrooms depicted, with each student putting their fingerprint on their class, and each staff member has also put their fingerprint on the mural,” he said. “This is all part of Reconciliation Week, the theme of which is ‘be a voice for generations, to act today for a more just, equitable and reconciled country for all’. The mural clearly depicts this theme.
“We will be installing the mural outside one of our parent gathering places, which is where many parents pick their students up in the afternoon.”
