CARLEY CORNELISSEN MURAL
In Week 10, Term 1, we were fortunate to have Brisbane based composer, Carley Cornelissen, come to the college to create a mural in our new art spaces in the Trocarie Wing. Throughout the week, learners were fortunate to see Carley’s art making process and she created her design that incorporated local flora and fauna. Thank you so much to Mrs Aleeah Maffesoni for her vision for this space, and to Carley for sharing her talents with us.
