Students brighten up ERH

St Mary’s family and community liaison officer Tegan Reid said the students were excited to see their works on display.

“The kids have been really proud ... everyone’s really excited to come here and see (the display),” she said.

“Just to be able to let the kids have that connection within their community and give back to it has been really good.”

A select number of students from each year group worked on the colourful artworks depicting emus, native plants and landscapes.

In total, there are 28 works created by 23 students, with some done individually and others created collaboratively between students.

Executive director finance and corporate services Robyn Rudge said the artworks would be appreciated by all who visited the hospital.

“This is one of our busiest corridors, and so we're super proud to be able to put the display of artworks up here because our patients, our residents, the people in Glanville come over and have a look,” she said.

“Our visitors, and most importantly, our patients, love to be able to walk along here (and) take a moment to look at the artwork.

“It helps them forget all the things that they’re dealing with, and they get to see the beautiful work that you’ve done.”
