Community Project at Pine Rivers State School

I am just writing about my day at the PRSS, Strathpine. my day started with the groundsman telling me that I am not suppose to be on site as he had not been told that I would be there today. My reply was that the mural had to be completed by the end of the week as it is part of my communities project for this semester so as I can graduate in a bachelor of contemporary indigenous art. I told him if I go, I wont be back to finish it. then he can explain to the principle why it is not finished. I got to stay and had a very good session, i feel real comfortable with the story I am telling. its the campfire story, where I am using a Koori Dreamtime story, where the symbols I have used are two goanna's going in opposite direction to each other in a large community symbol. Around it are the spirits of children and there teachers, symbolising that the campfire is a place of learning, character building and preparing oneself for the future. As this is my first blog about what I am doing at PRSS I intend to keep you updated with what I do each week.
