The project aims to bring people together to weave
stars as an expression of support for peace and positive relationships. Stars
have been chosen as a symbol of hope and light.
Maroondah City Council has committed to be part of the
project and aims to contribute 10,000 stars. Our stars will form part of an
exhibition at Realm, Eastland, in November. These stars will then be sent to
Brisbane in early 2017 to be part of a giant installation on display as part of
the Gold Coast Commonwealth Games Arts and Cultural Program!
All students, parents, staff and friends of Marlborough are
invited to weave stars to be part of this project. The Grade 3-6 classes have
been weaving stars during Art lessons and have also been weaving stars at home
and during lunchtimes.
For more information (and a video and instructions on
how to weave the stars) please click here to go to the council website.
I will be collecting all our stars and delivering them
to Wyreena Community Centre by the end of August. You can drop off any stars
you’ve made to the Art Room or to the office and I will add them to our
delivery. Please come and see me if you have any questions or need help with
weaving instructions. Happy Weaving!
