Students and teachers at St Roch’s School, Glen Iris, welcomed families to share the opening night of their biennial art exhibition.

‘Empowered minds, compassionate hearts’ not only celebrates classroom learning, but provides an important outlet for students to express themselves creatively.

‘By integrating their classroom learning into their artwork, our students have crafted pieces that reflect their thoughts and feelings’, said the school’s Visual Arts teacher, Jo Boers. ‘The engagement, creativity and growth observed in the students throughout the year have been truly inspiring. They have poured their hearts into creating meaningful and technically impressive artworks, inspired by our theme. Each piece you see tonight is a testament to their hard work, talent and dedication.’

For Principal Angie Mastoras, the night was a celebration of the school coming together for a common purpose. ‘Our art teacher, Jo, has allowed our children to create work that exemplifies the theme of empowering minds and compassionate hearts’, said Angie. ‘This exhibition is entirely the efforts of our students, with Jo’s direction. I’m so grateful to have such a committed staff who work tirelessly to showcase the various skills and talents of our students.’

A highlight of opening night was the auction of artwork created collaboratively by the classes. ‘Each of these art projects reflects both creative expression and powerful themes of collaboration, empowerment and compassion’, said Jo. ‘The variety of mediums used by each year level from Prep to Year Six captures the spirit of community and growth, with each artwork telling a unique story of how working together can lead to flourishing individuals and a compassionate collective.’
