A striking new mural created by students at Good Shepherd Lutheran College NT has advanced to the final stages of the national competition organised by Paint Australia Beautiful Schools Mural Competition, and the young artists are rallying the local community for support ahead of voting closure.

The mural was designed and executed by the college’s students to reflect both their own creativity and their connection to the Top End environment. The bold visual piece has been embraced by school leadership as a way to highlight student voice and community involvement in a public-art context.

As voting opens to a wider audience, the school is encouraging families, friends and the broader community to visit the competition site and cast their vote for the mural. By securing strong backing, the students hope the recognition will not only reward their hard work but also shine a spotlight on the creative arts program at the college.

Should the mural secure an award, it will stand as a testament to the power of student-driven public art and the school’s commitment to enrichment beyond the classroom. It also underscores how regional schools can make a national impact when creativity, community and opportunity intersect.
