Visual Arts - Mosaics

It has been an exciting start to Term 2 at St Martin’s with our mosaic panels now installed on the northern side of our Community Hall. The mosaic panels, representing our eight school values, were created in 2018 by our then Year 6 and 7 students during their Visual Arts lessons. Click here to see the amazing artwork.
