Eden's stunning design

Eden Love with his shirt design

ASC staff are proudly wearing their new shirts designed by Eden Love (Year 10).

Eden was selected as the winner of the design competition initiated last year by our Aboriginal Engagement team. His eyecatching entry is based on carefully thought-out elements:

"I aimed to consolidate symbolic articles from the school and connect with Indigenous Australian's ancient culture. I was inspired by the importance of birds in Aboriginal culture and their prominence in paintings, dances and stories ... Our ASC mascot, Reggie, the wedge-tailed eagle also influenced my artwork. Further, 'wings' are a reward system within our school. The patterns covering the feathers are symbols of ancient Indigenous culture. Throughout high school, students experience highs and lows. I try communicating this through the journey path, which is expressed by the wavy lines. Whilst the concentric circles symbolise a place in which all people come together as equals, it's a portrayal of our inclusive community at ASC. I tried drawing in groups of three to mirror the school's three core values: respect, responsibility and resilience."

Congratulations Eden on your superb design!
