Stunning Art!

Submitted by Rachelle Pratt on Mon, 31/05/2010 - 8:49am

For Term 2 in Visual Arts our talented Year 8 students have been inspired by New Zealand artist Don Binney.

Binney is widely known for his paintings of New Zealand native birds. Students selected one of his birds and painted it flying over Rangitoto Island. See our website gallery for some of their stunning results!

School Mural!

Submitted by Rachelle Pratt on Tue, 11/05/2010 - 3:08pm

With our 'Mighty Minds and Talents' program underway, the plans for a new school mural are rolling! The theme for our mural is 'Many Cultures, One School'. We want it to reflect what it means to be part of a school made up of so many different cultures. The variety of backgrounds at Greenmeadows is what makes our school diverse and interesting!

Last Friday we had our first class. We started off getting to know eachother and sharing our thoughts on what we were hoping to contribute to making our project a success.
