A new mural at MacNeill Secondary now stretches across the wall like a story unfolding in colour and movement. Titled Home of the Ravens, the artwork features a sky shaped like a large raven, with its wings outstretched, enveloping the landscape and symbolizing mentorship, guidance and connection.
This piece was inspired by a school-wide prompt asking students and staff to share words that represent their community. Themes like curiosity, creativity, challenge and belonging emerged and helped shape the final design.
Artist Amy (Run Yu) Bao collaborated in after-school workshops, guiding participants through collage-making and tonal explorations that reflected personal ties to MacNeill. The final creation blends student voice with artistic vision, flowing with symbolism and meaning.
