Message from the DSM

We are very excited to announce that Campbell Primary School has been successful in applying for a “Saluting Their Service” Commemorative Grant from DVA. The grant will hopefully allow us to commission a local artist to design and deliver a commemorative outdoor mural near our relocated flagpoles at the back of the hall.

Campbell Primary School has a long and proud association with the Canberra ADF community, in particular with our neighbours at Duntroon. Given our proximity to ADFA, RMC, Russell Offices and of course the Australian War Memorial this is a wonderful opportunity for an acknowledgement of, and tribute to, the sacrifice of all those that have served.

We are now appealing to our wonderful (and talented) Campbell Primary School community, particularly those that are artists or are well connected in the local art community. The parameters are broad at this stage. Ideally we would like the mural to represent all 3 services, tie back to Campbell Primary School in some way, be of a professional standard, low maintenance and long lasting. The mural must have a commemorative theme and should be suitable as a backdrop to both ANZAC and Remembrance Day activities.

If you think you may be interested, or know someone who is please contact the Defence School Mentor directly at Karyn.heitmann@ed.act.edu.au . Where multiple proposals are received the successful applicant will be chosen by our Executive team or by student vote.

Below are a few examples of community and school murals for inspiration.
