Travelling the Flow of Learning. The artwork on the box has been created by Mitch Francis, a Gunditjmara and Bundjalung man from the Illawarra Region of NSW.

Mitch’s artwork, titled “Flow of Learning”, beautifully depicts the journey of a child through education:

“Passing through the centre of the artwork is the child’s journey along the winding path of education and learning. The connecting blue lines lying behind symbolise all the places that each child visits throughout their own educational journey. The ‘U’ shapes along the sides of the design represent all the people who have been supportive in this journey.”
