Rainbow Handprint Collage Celebrates Everyone in the Junior School

In December, we unveiled our Junior School Collaborative Artwork – Rainbow Handprint Collage.

Everyone in the Junior School – students and staff members – created a handprint for the collage. Each grade was given one colour of the rainbow as their theme, while staff members used silver card. Students and staff members decorated their handprint with a design unique to them. They captured themselves on their handprint with lines, shapes, patterns, symbols and images meaningful to them.

Everyone enjoyed creating their handprints and the designs drawn are beautiful, unique and special. A common theme across all handprints, students and staff members alike, is a love for their families, represented with symbols like love hearts and family members’ initials. Many others captured interests and passions such as a love for art, sport and nature.

Our Rainbow Handprint Collage is a celebration of each and every person in the Junior School. It captures our diversity and individuality while representing our connection and unity as a school.
