Students from Al Siraat College, Edgars Creek Secondary College and Wollert Secondary College have joined forces to create a stunning public mural at the Y Leisure City in Epping.
In response to feedback from local school Student Representative Councils, Whittlesea council led the program focused on enhancing the connections of young people to local sports and recreation spaces.
Melbourne Street artist Baby Guerrilla was commissioned to guide and inspire the students to bring their creative visions to life.
She said it was a pleasure to be a part of a group full of passionate people of all ages.
“Both teachers and students were amazing to work with on this project. Their skills, enthusiasm, and work ethic has blown me away,” she said.
“The artworks celebrate and encourage artistic diversity transforming the Y Leisure City with beautiful art. The initiative fosters awareness and participation in local sport
and recreation, enhancing civic pride and community connection.”
Whittlesea council chair administrator Lydia Wilson said this collaborative project was a great example of young people working together.
“We are thrilled to see the wonderful mural that has been created as a result of the months of hard work from students of the Epping North and Wollert areas who came together to work with their local sports and recreation centre,” she said.
“This collaborative effort has resulted in vibrant artworks with important messages about our community and our shared values.”
