Gateway Plaza and Leopold Primary School joined in the fun for NAIDOC Week.
Charter Hall and First Nations artists brought ‘Drawing Us Together’ to the school and shopping centre in honour of the 2024 theme ‘Keep the Fire Burning’.
This year’s project features a powerful mix of First Nations authors, each bringing their unique stories to life. Students had the chance to explore these diverse perspectives through creative illustrations, creating a rich cultural and educational experience for everyone involved.
Leopold PS students had fun creating their artwork with a selection of the illustrations chosen as finalists will be on display at Gateway Plaza until Sunday July 14, when the local community will cast their vote to choose the final illustrations to be included in a digital book available in August.
“We’re thrilled to partner with local schools, giving students a chance to celebrate Australia’s rich history through stunning artwork inspired by Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander stories,” Charter Hall national marketing manager Megan Biddle said.
“This is a unique chance for local students to express themselves, explore important issues, and see their artwork displayed for the whole community to admire.”
To vote for your favourite illustration, simply find the display boards located within Gateway Plaza, scan the QR code and fill out the registration form which lets you select which school and piece of artwork you would like to see featured in the story book.
