Community Connections
School Through Our Eyes
On Friday, we had the launch of our book 'School Through Our Eyes'. This wonderful picture book showcases the artwork of 22 talented students, capturing life at Gwynne Park ESC through their own unique perspectives.
The project was made possible through a Creativity for Schools grant, with artist-in-residence Ms Sophia Lark guiding students to express their experiences and imagination through art.
It was inspiring to see how creativity and collaboration can bring students’ voices to life in such a beautiful way. Congratulations to everyone involved!
