Woodroffe HS Unveils 50th Anniversary Mural
On Monday, May 17th, Woodroffe High School installed a new outdoor mural on its east wall in honour of the school’s 50th anniversary. The mural’s official unveiling will coincide with the reunion being held from May 27th to the 29th on the school grounds.
The mural is seven feet high and over seventy feet in length. It’s comprised of twelve large panels that trace significant events and people that have had an impact on the school and on the world over the past fifty years. The mural includes references to the Arts, athletics, music, technology, cultural phenomena as well as a number of other significant milestones. In addition, it celebrates the spirit of a still vibrant school.
The mural project was made possible by a very kind donation from the Woodroffe School Council. It was coordinated by staff members Richard King, Jocelyne Cory, Carolynn Sheu and Christy Stanhope. In addition, fourteen other adults (including staff, family members and friends) and over fifty students from various grades participated in the preparation, planning, painting and mounting of the mural. All those involved in the project should be very proud of their contributions.
