Year 12 Visual Arts In Practice
Year 12 Visual Arts in Practice, handed over their completed wheelchair frames to Graeme Bartlett from Gladstone Rotary last week.
After 4 weeks of designing and painting, the colourful finished products were sent to the Rotary workshop to be fitted out into wheelchairs for less fortunate children in other countries. Graeme was extremely impressed with the designs and could not wait to see what they looked like when assembled.
Congratulations to the Year 12 students for the care and thought they put into the designs.
