This artwork tells the story of Teralba Public School as a shared place of learning on Awabakal Country, beside Awaba, Lake Macquarie. The flowing lines across the design represent the surrounding hills and plains, while the water imagery acknowledges the deep and enduring connection between Country, community and the lake.

Three gathering circles move through the artwork, representing the school as a place where students, teachers, families, Elders and community come together. The central gatherings reflect education and the passing of knowledge between generations. People symbols surrounding the circles express belonging, inclusion and shared responsibility, as students’ journey through preschool, infants and into primary, highlight the school community and partners who join the school’s learning journey.

Above the gatherings, the eagle watches over Country, symbolising strength, protection and guidance. The sun brings light, growth and renewal, while the pathways and flowing lines represent songlines, movement and the many learning journeys past, present and into the future at Teralba Public School.

The boat travelling across Nikinpa reflects Teralba Public School’s logo and its strong connection to Lake Macquarie. While along the lower edge, traditional water symbolism acknowledges the Five Islands Aboriginal clan group and their enduring connection to Awabakal Country. These circles create a strong foundation for the artwork, representing continuity, cultural knowledge and relationships carried across generations.

Together, the artwork celebrates Teralba Public School as a safe and welcoming Ngurra, a place where knowledge is shared, relationships are nurtured and everyone is invited to belong. It honours Awabakal culture and reflects a school community growing and learning together.
