The Jerrabomberra Primary student has created an artwork depicting the theme, Give Respect, as part of a council competition highlighting the issue of domestic violence in the community.
Her artwork, one of hundreds submitted by children across the region, has been chosen to be made into a mosaic mural.

Residents over the age of 10 are invited to join in the mosaic-making workshops on September 3 and 4 by registering at www.qcc.nsw.gov.au/GiveRespect.
