“Little Red Hen” Donvale Community Art Project, 1995

DESCRIPTION

DescriptionThe Little Red Hen was a community art project created by the Donvale campus under the leadership of art teacher Jeanette Jennings. Standing over 165 cm (six feet) tall, this large red hen sculpture was the first of three significant art works produced at Donvale in 1995.

The project brought together students, staff and families to design and construct the hen, making it a true whole-campus collaboration. It was first unveiled at Donvale Open Day on 21 May 1995, where the story of The Little Red Hen was explored through an integrated program across subject areas including Mathematics, English, Religious Education, Drama and French.

Following its debut, the sculpture was selected for display at the Royal Melbourne Show, showcasing Donvale’s creative and educational approach to a wider audience, before returning to the campus as a celebrated symbol of community engagement and cross-curricular learning.

This project remains an important example of Donvale’s early commitment to creativity, collaboration and integrated learning.DateBetween 1st January 1995 and 31st December 1995Year1995CreatorCarey Baptist Grammar SchoolTypeGroup
