Chancery Lane Branding Mural
Capturing the essence of what makes St Aloysius College unique.
Created in 2019, the Branding Mural winds its way along the walls and buildings of St Aloysius College, extending down Chancery Lane. The mural is the result of a dynamic collaboration between a talented and creative group of secondary students, Art teachers and support staff, working alongside David and Deanne Riggs from Riggs Digital.
This vibrant artwork captures the essence of what makes St Aloysius College unique. By inviting current students to identify the College’s core values, the project has produced authentic images that resonates strongly with past, present and future students, as well as the wider community.
The image of Celeste embodies the sense of wonder and curiosity and is entitled Growth. It emphasises the importance of nurturing the inherent gifts and talents of every student, as well as recognising our responsibility for the stewardship of all of creation.
The image of Elsie drawing is entitled Inspiration and speaks of the creativity and imagination that are carefully nurtured through a Mercy education.
The STEM image shows Sarah examining the contents of a beaker in Science. The mural team’s thinking was that STEM is more than a combination of specific disciplines, it is about asking questions and solving problems collaboratively.
The image of Adilya and Jarran is one of Friendship that spans from the early years through to Year 12. We cannot underestimate the power of role modelling and encouragement provided by our senior students.
These images, tied together with a purple ribbon, form the Empowering Bright Futures installation. Embedded within the mural are augmented reality videos produced by students to expand the still images into a powerful story.
