Our Story Through Indigenous Art

We are proud to unveil a beautiful piece of artwork created especially for Cranbourne Primary School by a local Indigenous artist Bayley Mifsud. 

 

This artwork tells the story of Cranbourne Primary School and the strong sense of community that defines it.

The focal point of the design are three meeting places on the left, symbolising the school’s core values: Work Hard, Be Kind, Feel Proud.

Beside the meeting places are people, in a range of colours and sizes to reflect the rich diversity of students, staff, and families who come together to form the Cranbourne Primary School community.


Flowing blue lines weave throughout the artwork, representing the waterways of Melbourne, and acknowledging the Traditional Owners of the land on which Cranbourne Primary School stands.

Created using the school colours, the artwork celebrates the positive impact Cranbourne Primary School has within the community and reinforces its role as a safe, welcoming place where students from all walks of life are supported to grow and thrive.
