Mural Project for College Chapel

Dominic College and ‘Hullabaloo’ Designs have embarked on an exciting collaboration with a Mural Project for our Chapel. This project, initiated by our Principal, Ms Gilligan, and led by Ms Audrey Durbridge, is intended to bring a visually creative element into the interior walls of the Chapel and complement both its architecture and location. The completed mural will consist of a three-panelled triptych that will hang towards the far end wall.
