Blackmans Bay Primary School will be receiving a makeover with a $3000 community grant to create an extensive mural.
The mural will cover a large, blank wall space spanning two classrooms that overlooks the school’s courts and is visible to anyone who walks through the school grounds to or from the Opal Drive car park.
Jamin Kluss has been commissioned to paint the mural.
Jamin said he is excited to create a sense of play, transforming the dull, grey wall into a vibrant and colourful space.
The mural will see large scale depictions of some local birds, such as the swift parrot, the forty spotted pardalote and the yellow-tailed black cockatoos.
The project will also combine whole school learning activities focused on sharing art skills delivered by Jamin and ecology and habitat conversations delivered by Kingborough Council’s Natural Areas Interpretation Officer, Bridget Jupe.
The school community is still seeking donations to get this major project off the ground, and they have a GoFundMe page currently taking donations.
