CLONTARF PAINTING A TESTAMENT TO BROTHERHOOD
At the closure of Term 1, a select group of students presented their 7-week project of an Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander map. The project began championed by the Clontarf boys, however, it soon became an interest to all students.

During class, non-indigenous students asked their classmates about their island home or tribe. Each shared their stories on the totems that surround and represent their homelands as well as what local fish or animals were hunted in the area.

Within the Australian artwork, you can see a kangaroo, platypus, emu and coral trout surrounded by the infamous rainbow serpent – symbolic of protecting our homes and people.
