Congratulations to the Paint Australia Beautiful Winners!

Victorian Paint Australia Beautiful Winner - South Geelong Primary School

Congratulations to all the winners of the Paint Australia Beautiful Competition, with a special shoutout to the Victorian Winner - South Geelong Primary School.

The South Geelong Primary School winning design was from Maichi in grade 6.

Maichi’s mural design honours the deep connection between our school community and the land of the Wadawurrung People. Inspired by the sacred Bunjil, a Wedged-tailed Eagle revered by First Nations cultures as the creator of the land, flora, and fauna in our region, her artwork reflects the many natural and man-made wonders of this place.

The design features the tail feathers of Bunjil being formed by the fingerprints of this year’s Year 6 students, symbolising their unique imprint on the legacy of our school. This mural will not only serve as a lasting tribute to the Year 6 class, but also as a visual affirmation of our collective acknowledgment of the Wadawurrung People as the original custodians of the land on which our school stands.

Congratulations to Maichi and all the winners, we can't wait to see the murals as they go up around the country, with special thanks to Haymes Paint for their support.
