Near the beginning of IB1, Ms. Rachel in primary approached Mrs Hollis with the prospect of getting IB1 involved with creating a mural on the primary school walls. Anam Kibria, Al-Hassan Al Shabani and Ross Cabradilla decided they wanted to do something for the closer community of DIS and took the idea under their wing. The idea was loved by Mrs Hollis so approval was instant but the planning process was longer than they projected. DIS’ director, Mr Bastable, advised the students to have a meeting with the site planner as he was the best person to talk to on whether it would be allowed.
After that process, a difficulty has been getting started. As IB is an intensive course, students found it hard to allocate time to the project. As the summer is approacing and the workload has slowed down slightly, they decided to get started this week. Mr Hudson, the primary school art teacher, gave them some designs and drawing the outline for the pictures has happened on Monday and Tuesday. It will continue to until the project has come to an end.
Even though the process has seemed tough, Anam, Ross, Al Hassan and helpers have been having plenty of fun. They havent forgotton the real reason behind such a project though. It gives the young pupils of the school a fun, fresh and educating environment to play in safely and happily.

I am so pleased that this project has finally gotten underway and I know that the students in foundation will also appreciate all your work. Are there any photos you could include on this blog to show the work in progress? Many thanks to Mr Hudson who is the Activity Supervisor for this project.

I believe what these students have done is extremely proactive and considerate of them. They have showed the ability to extend their care to the primary section and have dedicated their time to make the kids’ playground a little more fun! I highly admire what they have done even though I have not seen it. I am sure it is a masterpiece! Well done everyone!
