School Canteen Mural in Melbourne

Category: School Murals

At Copperfield College Sydenham Campus, I collaborated closely with students to design and paint a large-scale school mural celebrating the languages taught within the school: Italian and Japanese. The concept was entirely student-driven, with students choosing iconic cultural elements such as spaghetti, pizza, and sushi to represent their language learning experiences in a fun and engaging way.

Throughout the mural process, students were actively involved in both the design and painting stages, giving them hands-on experience in creating public art within their school environment. The final canteen mural is bright, playful, and culturally inspired, transforming the space into a welcoming hub that reflects creativity, diversity, and student voice.

This collaborative school mural project highlights the power of student engagement, cultural education, and community involvement, while showcasing how custom murals can enhance learning spaces, foster pride, and create lasting visual impact within schools.
