The Macquarie Wambool (Wambuul) River
The students from Carenne School jointly created artworks titled The Macquarie Wambool (Wambuul) River by rolling paint onto cardboard and making prints of living things using foam printing sheets.
Their artworks were inspired by learning about their local river and how it is important to look after it and share it.
