The project directors are Mrs Susie Cujes who is an experienced quilt-maker and Senior Primary Art Teacher Mrs Ronnie Pratt who has been appointed to oversee the project at the Preparatory School. This art experience will offer an opportunity for all students at the Preparatory School to construct three 15 cm squares, each representing an aspect of the school’s holistic educational philosophy - MIND, BODY and SPIRIT. The work will take place during Visual Arts lessons at different times of the year to link with appropriate PYP Units of Inquiry.

This is a massive project and your help is needed with sewing and general set up and supervision of group activities in classes. This might include assisting with hand sewing, gluing objects to the squares, ironing fabrics onto the background using adhesive fabric etc. A helpers wiki has been set up and will be updated on a Friday each week with a timetable of classes needing volunteers. There is also a page that lists the donations needed for each project. Contact Ronnie Pratt by email rpratt@trinity.nsw.edu.au and I will get back to you as soon as possible with an invitation to join the Wiki. Alternatively, if you are a //technology challenged individual,// just email me with your availability each week and I will add your name to the class list on the Wiki
