Our artwork represents the many different skies in Australia. The lorikeets represent our school community as we have many rainbow lorikeets in our area. The dotted leaves on the outside represent the Sun. The different quadrants represent the different skies in Australia demonstrating that no matter where we live in Australia that we can all live under one sky, yesterday, today and forever as long as we work hard together. Our artwork also represents our unique Acknowledgement of Country. In the current climate that we live in, in NSW our artwork shows that we can still work together no matter where we are in Australia.
Reconciliation means…
That we should be working together to build respect and trust between First Nations people and the broader Australian community. We should be standing strong to build a better, stronger, happier nation!
