Calvary residents join Year 10 students for visual arts

By Ms Kath Notley, Director of Service Learning

Last Friday, a group of residents from Calvary Aged Care in Bruce joined our Year 10 art students for a collaborative clay workshop. Together, they contributed to a vibrant project of a totem pole made up of individually crafted clay sections.

Each resident created their own unique piece, which will soon be glazed and assembled into the final artwork. The session was held under the direction and guidance of our Head of Creative Arts, Ms Amanda Marshall, whose leadership helped bring this intergenerational project to life.

This meaningful collaboration not only enriched the creative process for the students, but also fostered connection, conversation and shared creativity across generations.

The finished totem pole will stand as a celebration of community and artistic expression, and we hope to be able to replicate this session next year.
