Christ the Priest Primary School in Caroline Springs has been announced as the state winner of the Haymes Paint and Keep Australia Beautiful (KAB) Paint Australia Beautiful competition.
The inaugural competition required students from across the country to design murals inspired by the environment and how they can care for it.
Christ The Priest Primary School has been chosen as the Victoria winner and the school will receive $750 in paint and supplies from Haymes Paint to bring its mural design to life.
Visual arts teacher Audrey Buttigieg Cardona said the school community is “very excited” by the win.
“You should have heard the kids scream when I told them we won,” she said.
“They cant wait to start painting and put it up … That area looks quite grey at the moment, it’s going to bring some bright colours and joy and colourful ambience to the area.”
Christ The Priest Primary School will go into the running for the overall national competition, with a grand prize of $2000 up for grabs.
Voting will run once all state winners have painted their murals.
