Drawing Us Together Project

Earlier this year students were invited to take part in the Drawing Us Together Project, an opportunity to develop a children’s picture book in partnership with an Indigenous author.

The story, written by Alton Walley and titled Being a Big Brother, is based on this year’s NAIDOC Message ‘Get Up, Stand Up, Show Up’, focusing on the value of leadership and how we can influence those near to us to make a positive change. Our students were given the final two pages to illustrate.

We had five students submit artworks for the illustrations, which will now go on public display in Charter Hall shopping centres and to a public vote. The favourite designs chosen by the community will then be used in the picture book.

Thank you to Kamilla P, Jasmine P, Mahlia L, Arianna P and Seraphina T for submitting such beautiful artworks. We wish you all good luck on becoming published illustrators.
