Room 12 students stand by their mural at the Te Atatu Peninsula Sculpture Trail. The mural was started last year and the circles represent the different cultures who have come and enriched New Zealand culture. Before being part of the Sculpture trail, it was also displayed at the Abundance Gallery.
