- Good Luck
- Happiness
- Knowledge
- Transformation

Mural unveiled at Research Preschool
When Research Preschool needed to turn a drab, mission brown wall into a creative master piece, they called Thou Art Mum.
With a grant from Rotary and two brilliant artists, Adriana Cosshall and Susana Gonzalez, their dream became reality. Adriana and Susana understood their vision and created an outstanding piece of work for the preschool. The mural theme is a local native garden with animals and insects that the children would recognise from their own gardens. The mural also lends itself to educational activities including numeracy, hide and seek, learning about the environment and recognising colours.
Research Preschool is grateful to Thou Art Mum, Rotary and the wonderful artists, Adriana and Susana.
