This year the focus for the art show is ‘We are Australians’ and is linked to Josh Arnold’s ‘Walk Together’ project. Focusing on cultural diversity and acceptance.Mrs Kathy Bliss, Principal of Holy Name Primary School, said, “This year’s theme is a reflection of our school and its students. It is also a snapshot of Toowoomba and the local region. We are a great multicultural, rural and regional centre.“It is important that children today understand and learn to look at situations with wider perspectives. We now live in an ever changing global community,” said, Mrs Bliss.Josh Arnold will be performing on the night along with the Holy Name Primary School choir to open the art show.
