Students from Melrose Primary School in Wodonga think the city is a fun, safe place with friendly caring people. To reflect this attitude a number of students from Year 5/6 are painting a mural. The students will take half a day on Thursday 14 May to complete the mural in the grounds of Melrose Primary, as part of a collaborative project between Charles Sturt University’s (CSU) Murray School of Education, Wodonga City Council and Wodonga early childhood services, primary and high schools. The mural designed is based on discussions held by the students over the past three weeks, based on the theme 'Wodonga: a child-friendly city'. Project coordinator Professor Sue Dockett said this project “encourages children to focus on their community, what they value and expect and the ways in which they engage with the community”.
