    Over the past three weeks, our talented Year 5 students in 5CF have been working hard on a special Aboriginal art project – and the results are stunning! Starting with pieces of wood, students carefully sanded their surfaces before designing and painting their own artworks inspired by traditional Aboriginal styles and stories. The progression has been incredible to watch, from the very first stage to these vibrant, meaningful final pieces. Well done 5CF! We can't wait to share the rest when they're finished too!
