The Big Make

IMG-20160323-WA0000Pupils and members of staff have all taken part in creating a whole school piece of art.

The sculptures represent us as unique individuals and also together as one.  Each sculpture has two eyes which signify our shared vision as a school.  The large eyes represent having our eyes open to the world, ready to learn new things and ready to help others in need.

When you look at the art work, notice that each sculpture is based on the same design but each one is unique.

At St. Thomas’ we encourage all pupils to take pride in their achievements.  This artwork is a shared success that can be shared amongst pupils, staff and the whole school community.
