Every face has a place at Berry Public School

One of the many exciting initiatives recently completed at Berry Public School

As a way of strengthening a culture of care, respect and a sense of belonging, the School Culture team had a vision of creating a tiled mural to support diversity within our school. Project planning began in 2017 and thanks to a successful Community Engagement Grant from the State Government we were able to complete our “Every Face has a Place” tiled mural earlier this year.

To complete this project, each student drew a self-portrait in Paint Pot lessons during 2018. As part of these lessons, teachers spoke openly and honestly about individual differences and the need to respect people of all backgrounds and abilities. 

We hope the mural is a long-lasting reminder that at Berry all students are known, valued and cared for. Next time you’re down at the hall, have a look at the mural. I’m sure you’ll agree we have many talented artists at Berry Public School.
