Departing year 6 student Chace Pyott has continued a long tradition of Year 6 Projects by painting a mural on the back of the cubbyhouse at Millaroo State School.
“Every year, the year 6 students will leave something behind, and this is Chace’s tribute to the school for this year,” said Millaroo State School Principal Annette Wellington.
The painting depicts Chace and his friends on an adventure on which they went spear hunting, saw and followed wallaby and turkey tracks before retiring to their meeting place to sit around the fire.
“And the one on the top is all the Millaroo kids playing red rover at lunch,” he added.
Chace said he’s sad to be leaving the school, his Year 6 Project displaying his love for the school and the community.
“It’s really good here,” he said.
“Everyone’s friends and we do so much fun stuff like community days and excursions.”
The annual tradition provides year 6 students the opportunity to leave their mark as a tribute to the school.
“There’s lots around our school,” Ms Wellington
“Students can come back in the future and see how the school and the projects are growing, what has happened in our year six projects and who’s left what behind.
“It’s also really good for the new one’s coming in to see what they can do when they leave.”
Other year 6 projects include paintings, sculptures and mosaics, symbols left from students who cherished their time at this small school.
