Students arriving for class this month at Robert Bateman Seconday School (RBSS) were pleasantly surprised by a new sight by Palfy Park.
A wall previously considered a free-for-all grafitti “grad wall” was recently painted over, transformed into a memorial mural for students who have died.
The project was inspired by a yearly battle to paint over sometimes inappropriate grafitti messages, and also by the death of former student Cheryl McCormack, who passed away in 2011.
The mural includes the favourite animals of the fallen students, in keeping with the nature theme in RBSS.
