Under the guidance of Ms. McColl, Shrewsbury students explored and deployed a range of mixed media techniques to create a collection of decorative tiles demarcating their feelings of connection to Hong Kong. Acting to celebrate the school's diverse international community and the vibrancy of the region, the resulting mural has drawn a rousing reception. "We are incredibly excited to partner with Eleanor McColl for this unique project," said Stephen Wong, School Supervisor at Shrewsbury International School Hong Kong. "This collaboration not only enriches our students' educational experience but also emphasises the importance of art in bringing communities together."

"Working with the talented students at Shrewsbury International School has been a truly inspiring experience. Their creativity and willingness to learn have brought new life to my mixed media techniques, and I am very pleased to see their collective vision come to fruition on the mural." Eleanor McColl, Artist

With the launch of a new bilingual programme now on the horizon, Shrewsbury has proven to be one of the most innovative and culturally committed schools in the region.
