Diversity in Community Pebbles Project: Celebrating Connection Through Art

In term 2, students from Pathway A and Pathway C classes came together to create something beautiful and meaningful - the Diversity in Community Pebbles Project, an art initiative developed to celebrate Refugee Week and the unique stories our students bring to our school.

The project involved students from two different classes teaming up as buddies to design and decorate their own paper “pebble.” Each pebble was a symbol of individual identity, creativity, and culture. Once completed, all the pebbles were arranged together in a shape chosen by the group and then placed in a frame, creating a powerful image of unity.

Just like real pebbles on a beach, no two designs were the same. Some were bold and colourful, others soft and delicate, but together, they formed a single, harmonious piece of art. The message was clear: we are all different, but we belong together.

It was also a wonderful opportunity for students at different English levels to work side-by-side, share ideas, and build friendships.

The artwork will now be proudly displayed as a reminder that diversity is our strength, and when we come together, we can create something truly special.
