The design was selected with careful consideration of our special school setting, with a focus on creating a soothing visual space that supports student wellbeing. Its location near the horticulture room also reflects and complements the natural learning environment within that area of the school.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The project involved collaboration between students, staff, and a mural Artist Catherine O&#8217;Halloran from Draw Out, beginning with workshops where students explored ideas and created initial designs. These were refined into a final concept which was then brought to life on the selected wall. Students played an active role in the painting process, contributing to different stages of the mural\u2019s development.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The finished artwork reflects student voice, creativity, and teamwork, and has had a positive impact on the overall atmosphere of the school.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"883\" data-id=\"9410\" src=\"https:\/\/www.creativeengagement.ie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/20260507_102653-1024x883.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-9410\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.creativeengagement.ie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/20260507_102653-1024x883.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.creativeengagement.ie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/20260507_102653-980x845.jpg 980w, https:\/\/www.creativeengagement.ie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/20260507_102653-480x414.jpg 480w\" sizes=\"(min-width: 0px) and (max-width: 480px) 480px, (min-width: 481px) and (max-width: 980px) 980px, (min-width: 981px) 1024px, 100vw\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"765\" height=\"1024\" data-id=\"9411\" src=\"https:\/\/www.creativeengagement.ie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/20260507_114627-765x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-9411\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.creativeengagement.ie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/20260507_114627-765x1024.jpg 765w, https:\/\/www.creativeengagement.ie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/20260507_114627-480x643.jpg 480w\" sizes=\"(min-width: 0px) and (max-width: 480px) 480px, (min-width: 481px) 765px, 100vw\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"766\" data-id=\"9413\" src=\"https:\/\/www.creativeengagement.ie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/20260507_122030-1024x766.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-9413\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.creativeengagement.ie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/20260507_122030-1024x766.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.creativeengagement.ie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/20260507_122030-980x733.jpg 980w, https:\/\/www.creativeengagement.ie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/20260507_122030-480x359.jpg 480w\" sizes=\"(min-width: 0px) and (max-width: 480px) 480px, (min-width: 481px) and (max-width: 980px) 980px, (min-width: 981px) 1024px, 100vw\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1019\" height=\"1024\" data-id=\"9415\" src=\"https:\/\/www.creativeengagement.ie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/20260507_140123-1019x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-9415\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.creativeengagement.ie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/20260507_140123-1019x1024.jpg 1019w, https:\/\/www.creativeengagement.ie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/20260507_140123-980x985.jpg 980w, https:\/\/www.creativeengagement.ie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/20260507_140123-480x482.jpg 480w\" sizes=\"(min-width: 0px) and (max-width: 480px) 480px, (min-width: 481px) and (max-width: 980px) 980px, (min-width: 981px) 1019px, 100vw\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"473\" data-id=\"9412\" src=\"https:\/\/www.creativeengagement.ie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/20260514_151336-1024x473.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-9412\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.creativeengagement.ie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/20260514_151336-1024x473.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.creativeengagement.ie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/20260514_151336-980x452.jpg 980w, https:\/\/www.creativeengagement.ie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/20260514_151336-480x222.jpg 480w\" sizes=\"(min-width: 0px) and (max-width: 480px) 480px, (min-width: 481px) and (max-width: 980px) 980px, (min-width: 981px) 1024px, 100vw\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Catherine McAuley School&#8217;s Creative Engagement Project, &#8220;Brighter Together&#8221;, was developed to enhance the school environment through a calm, welcoming mural featuring simple shapes and fauna.
