Yarra Glen Primary School will hold an art exhibition on Wednesday 8 and Thursday 9 November.
It will be a showcase for the students to introduce their one-year effort in art to the local community.
Each student created an individual piece and also participated in a major project for their grade.
Yarra Glen Primary School Business Manager Penny Lamble said the exhibition would be the culmination of students’ one-year artwork.
“I’m excited to show our talented students and their artwork to the local community. They’ve been working on this during the art classes the whole year,” she said.
The two-day exhibition will include an auction of the major pieces by each grade while the individual pieces will be also available to purchase for $10.
“The auction will start at 6pm on the first day, but the display will be ongoing including the sold pieces until the end of the second day,” Ms Lamble said.
“It is to fundraise for the upgrade of the school’s playground.”
Many students put their best effort into their artwork along with art teacher Lorraine Parfitt’s help.
Both the students and the teacher volunteered their own time to have extra classes.
“Yarra Glen Primary School is so proud of our students and art teacher who donated their time to put a wonderful exhibition together,” Ms Lamble said.
“Lorraine doesn’t just do it during her work hours. She stays late, comes early and even comes in on her days off to get this exhibition together.”
