STRONG AND DEADLY
Students of the Dawul Remote Community School were asked to respond to their school motto ‘strong and deadly’. Each student was asked to demonstrate a pose which they thought was either strong or deadly. Responses were decorated onto a water tank, and included a doctor with stethoscope and a leaping footballer. The students were involved at every stage of the design and painting process, learning many important skills along the way.
