Johnston's Creek Painted River Project

The Year 6 students from Forest Lodge Public School want to celebrate their final year at school and also the naturalisation of their local creek, Johnston's Creek with a wall mural. This will be a legacy from a Painted River excursion they did during Science Week 2020 where artist Dr Leo Robba and water ecologist Dr Ian Wright melded science and art to highlight the role of watercourses in our community.  From this excursion, the students created paintings that students from Western Sydney University are now crafting into a design for a wall mural, which, with this funding,  will be painted onto a wall in Jubilee Park. We've got a lot of supporters but not enough funds to pay the artist and for materials to paint the wall. If we can get it funded, the mural will be along a popular walking track for the whole community to enjoy, not just the students that initiated the artwork. We want to paint the wall in early December before the Year 6 students finish up at Forest Lodge and your support will help make it happen!
