The new mural at Tarneit Senior College paints a proud picture of the diverse cohort.
Teacher Melissa Brown said the year 11 students had “the best time” immersing themselves in the creative process.
“Our school is very very diverse, we’re very multicultural, and the students felt like that was something that should be celebrated,” Ms Brown said.
“They lead the project, they designed everything, they drew every single one of those faces, and then we scanned them onto the computer and then we traced them all on and we just finished painting it.
Ms Brown said participating in artistic activities is imperative for students who might otherwise find it difficult to keep engaged in the classroom.
“There’s no artwork [at the school], especially outside, and they just wanted to create something that gave people a chance to recognise all the different cultures at our school,” she said.
The mural will hang outside, near the college’s basketball court.
