WHEN WE BLOOM, WE GROW An animation in tribute to those affected by the Christchurch attacks in 2019
A
short film created by approximately 50 senior painting and design students from Pukekohe High School in response to the mosque attacks in Christchurch on the 15th March 2019. The film groups together the senior painting and design students’ creative response, in a variety of media, from paintings, illustrations and animations, to original song writing and performance by Ella Barwick, a year 13 music student. ‘When we bloom, we grow’ intends to express the power of hope, aroha, support and kotahitanga that our students and staff felt in response to the attack last year, and were motivated to create artworks to offer support and wishes to those affected.
