๐ Congratulations to Exeter Primary School โ Tasmania's State Finalist in the Paint Australia Beautiful Mural Competition! ๐จ
Located on the back wall of the school swimming pool, visible from both the Grade 1/2 and Grade 3-6 playgrounds, and even spotted by the local community from the nearby walking track, this mural is more than just art โ it's a legacy project! Shaped by Student Peer Leaders, it's designed to grow over time as future generations of Grade 6 Peer Leaders add their own voice and stewardship.
The design flows with the silhouette of Kanamaluka (the Tamar River), inspired by the book Beneath the Tamar, celebrating the river's wonder alongside the Tamar Valley's mountains and rich local biodiversity. It also champions sustainable practices like waste sorting and recycling, while the Australian, Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander flags honour the diversity and cultures within the school community.
A beautiful reflection of Exeter's values โ Be Your Best, Care for the Rest, Be Safe โ and a wonderful example of students as active custodians of Kanamaluka and champions for Tasmania's environment. Well done, Exeter Primary! ๐๐
Keep Australia Beautiful
