ACE Secondary College Shepparton’s Year 12 cohort have been working collaboratively with local graphic artist Steph McNair on a mural celebrating their music program. The mural references multiple points of the school’s musical history, and recognises each of the Year 12 students, as well as the teachers. Painted in the College’s colours, the mural features call backs to the school band started last year – Blayze and The Rats – and features a large electric guitar, a call back to a welding project completed by the year level last year, welding a guitar out of scrap metal, which now hangs in their music room. ACE Secondary College Shepparton is oriented towards smaller class sizes that emphasises connection between staff and students. The collaborative learning model sees students given more autonomy in their curriculum and encouraged to pursue their interests and career goals.
