About the Work

We walk together, paying respect and showing recognition for the past while always looking with hope to the future. We walk together to build stronger connections with the land, the sky and the waterways, treading lightly and treasuring our environment. We walk together to learn and grow, becoming strong, resilient and successful young people. We walk together, with hope, joy and gratitude.

About the Artists

Heatley State School opened in 1971 and is built upon the traditional lands of the Wulgurukaba and Bindal Peoples. Heatley is a multicultural school, with over 15 different nationalities represented.

To create this collaborative artwork, students from Prep to Year 6 and community members worked alongside local artists and teachers.
