A breathtaking new mural now graces the exterior of McRoberts Secondary, the culmination of a community-driven project supported by the City of TV. Created by artist Anaïs Lera, the mural came to life through close collaboration with students, staff and parents, all sharing their vision of what the school means to them.
Titled “Growing,” the mural reflects the collective efforts of teachers, staff and parents in nurturing student development. The school is depicted as a flourishing garden, with adults as the gardeners, providing vital academic, emotional and social support to help students grow. Native BC plants symbolize the students, each one representing their unique potential and cultural diversity. The hands featured in the artwork represent the care and commitment of the school community, emphasizing the supportive environment that encourages both intellectual and emotional growth.
The mural is a reflection of the school’s nurturing spirit and inclusive community, capturing the commitment to helping every student both in and out of the classroom.
