Lukas crafts stunning mural

HIS art may be on walls in Los Angeles and Vancouver but Boort last week unveiled the latest mural designed by Lukas Kasper.

Lukas worked with Boort District School students to complete the colourful mural on a wall at the town’s resource and information centre.

The project funded through Northern District Community Health brought Lukas to Boort for three days, working with students to bring his water creature-theme mural to life.

Lukas is known for murals and creating artworks out of recycled or carved skateboards.

“My interest in creating art began around 2009 in Queensland Australia through the influences of street art, graffiti and skateboarding,” he said.

“The motive behind my work has matured over time focusing primarily on mental health, animals and environment,” said Lukas giving his latest creation the thumbs up.

Early offers come way of four

AN EAST Loddon P12 VCE quartet has received early offers to study at Charles Sturt University. Tom Harcourt, Libby Clymo, Gemma Maxted and Josh Diss now have at least one option for tertiary study next year.

Senior sub-school leader Sarah Krahe said the four had used the online application process to express their passion for chosen career pathways.

“They also had to outline situations where they had showed resilience and empathy.” she said. Libby hopes to study a Bachelor of Physiotherapy while Josh and Tom have plans for a Bachelor of Agriculture and Gemma a Bachelor of Environmental Science.

“Whilst students are required to accept the offers, there is no immediate commitment required,” said Sarah.

“They are able to apply for other courses and also decline or defer their offer later in the year,” Sarah said.

Police officers join ‘classroom huddles’

POLICE have been in the classrooms of Wedderburn College.

Leading Senior Constable Joy Jenkins last week spoke with students in Years 3 and 4 about community policing during the “classroom huddle” And Sgt Ben Huisman discussed the legal side of vaping and the health impacts of vaping with senior students.
