We worked collaboratively with Wurundjeri Woi-wurrung Elders, architectural and construction teams to facilitate understanding of project methodology and Traditional Owners’ wishes. We worked with the Wurundjeri Woi-wurrung Elders and artist Ash Firebrace to co-create a large-scale mural that represents the Layers of Wurundjeri Woi-wurrung Country across the levels of the school. This is complemented by additional window graphics featuring the story of the emu and a series of plaques for each level of the school.
