Flaxmere Library Mural

He Taonga Tuku Manawa

"This is a gift that comes from the heart; expressed from each student's perspective. And it spreads into the heart of our local community."

Bel Stevens-Sebley

The sun is shining over the Young Adult section at Flaxmere Library. Call in and see the wonderful gift to the Library - a mural created by 13 Flaxmere College students.

They have contributed their time and talents to this project as part of a 3 day Enrichment Programme, undertaken by the whole school. (Paint kindly donated by Resene Colourshops.)
