Erika Doria was the chosen designer for the 2010 Grade 6 Mosaic. Erika’s tiger came up well in the brightly coloured ceramic tiles and the finished work shone billiantly under the spotlights on Graduation night. It is pictured here with Erika (left) and Acting Principal Chris Sevior.
BJ Bentley, our 2009 designer, looks on as our Principal, Mr Peter Reading accepts the 2009 Year of the Ox mosaic.
This is the 5th in our series representing the years of the Chinese Calendar.
Our New Mosaic was presented to our Principal at Grade 6 Graduation on December 18th,2008.
Our Mosaics have finally been displayed in our school courtyard. They are done each year as a Graduation Gift to the school. A student drawing is used as the basis of the design.The animals depict those used in the Chinese Calendar. 2008 is the Year of the Rat so we will work on that Mosaic in Term 4.
I have been fortunate to attend a 2 day workshop run by Mosaic Artist Deborah Halpern.
It was held at Ballarat Art Gallery in 2005.Below are 3 photos of Deborah’s work during the grouting process.

Hello Joadi,
Than you so much for your Blog comments. I’m glad you like our photos. I often see spider webs but just don’t go and get the camera so I miss out. On that particular morning I was determined to capture the water droplets on the web and I was happy with the result. We are about to start the Year of the Rabbit mosaic on October 10th. It takes a while as I like all Grade 6 students to put in a few pieces.It will be ready for Graduation night in December when the winning designer helps me present to our Principal.
Very Best Wishes from Yvonne Osborn.

Hello Keziah,
Thank you for your Blog comment. I agree, Mosaics look great, even when they are simply done like ours are by students who are only doing them for the first time. Your Mosaic topic in 2012 will be “The Year of the Dragon”. That should be very impressive. I think we’ll need to make it longer than our others. I look forward to seeing your design.
Very Best Wishes from Mrs Osborn.

Bj Bentley is my brother’s best friend and comes to stay at our house about every second weekend and sometimes, when he is allowed, he stays all weekend.He really annoys me but he makes my family laugh.
