The results of an Aboriginal art and culture project at Tingoora State School were officially unveiled this afternoon.
The school received $5000 from the Aboriginal Community Interest Consultative Committee (ACICC) earlier this year to develop art projects to help “Close The Gap” between indigenous and non-indigenous students.
The projects included individual art pieces crafted by students as well as two major works, a mosaic – created by artist Sandy Cochrane – and a mural painted by staff and students.
The students also had the opportunity to visit The Ration Shed museum at Cherbourg to learn more about Aboriginal history.
