Despite the cold and pouring rain, the Menzies Creek Primary community showed up in full spirit on Wednesday, July 2, for an exciting and magical day.
The school’s corridors were transformed into an underwater wonderland, brought to life by the imagination and hard work of students.
From glowing reefs to giant sea creatures, every piece told a story, not just of the ocean, but of learning, passion, and care for the planet. Families beamed with pride as kids became guides, artists, and advocates.
Visual arts teacher Kate Watkins said the project gave students a chance to bring together everything they’d been learning across STEM, literacy, and the arts into one creative, shared experience.
“It’s been a full term of work,” she said.
“They’ve been connecting their classroom learning, about oceans, pollution, and the environment – with their artistic skills and problem-solving. It’s been amazing to see it all come together.”
It wasn’t just an exhibition, it was a celebration of curiosity, creativity, and community.
