In 2015 Year 1 students began a discussion about colour with the intention of experiencing the magic of mixing colours of their own and then transferring those colours onto a collaborative canvas. The class talked about how the painting was like their class community, how they had begun Prep as individuals and then as they grew their friendships they joined the empty friendship spaces and became a group. This document about the painting states: "Colour is your whole life because you can see it everywhere" "We painted in our own space on the canvas and then we filled in the gaps with colours and then it became the whole painting" "A long time ago before God there was no colour" "When we don't know what colour it's going to be it makes us feel excited and happy" "When there was no such things there was no people and no God no wind and no planets and there was no colour. When there was dinosaurs there was light" "At night the darkness goes upon all the colour in the world and then the colour goes black except one little bit on the ground when the moon shines down" "I disagree because it's not the whole world that gets dark. On one side there is colour when the other side is dark and then they swap over" "I think white is not a colour because rainbows have all the colours and if the colours are not on the rainbow they are not colours" "The whole world has colour". The original painting hangs in Principal Jeremey Stowe Lindner's office. For access to this record please contact [email protected] and performing arts, 2010s

This item was donated by Colin Laurence Grey OAM. Colin was the driving force behind many of the displays at the National Vietnam Veterans Museum. He will be remembered for his expertise, and boundless enthusiasm for all things Australian. Colin organised teams of like-minded souls to bring home and restore many important historical aircraft. His success has been recognised and rewarded with an Order of Australian Medal 2000, and he is named in the Worldwide Who’s Who 2014-2015. Colin’s skills as an engineer, tool maker, boiler maker and organiser enabled him to restore steam trains, trucks, tanks, infantry weapons, various aircraft including a MIG-15 jet fighter and his largest project the Consolidated B-24 Liberator bomber. He even replicated two dinosaur skeletons for Museum Victoria. In 1989 Colin joined the fledgling B-24 Liberator Memorial Fund as Project Manager/Restoration Co-Ordinator with the task to build a volunteer organisation that could find the AUD$10m required, source parts and materials for the largest aircraft restoration in Australia. The B-24 program had 10 volunteers, 60 sponsors and an international support network that provided parts, tooling, aviation equipment and political support. Colin’s combined engineering, academic and logistical skills provided the basis for advancing the skills of a very disparate group of volunteers form all walks of life. Colin established links with Centrelink, Corrections Victoria, RMT Uni and the ADF to develop the skills base of many less fortunate individuals of all ages and backgrounds. Colin’s work in this area gained him an AOM (2000). He featured in an ABC Australian Stories program and was awarded a life membership of the organisation. Colin was a founding member and President of the Oceania Aviation Museum Inc. which was instrumental in the historic listing of the joint WW2 USAAC/RAAF facility at Werribee and the Preserve Point Cook Aerodrome Group. Colin developed best practice engineering and fund-raising programs for a volunteer group, the Phillip Island Aquatic Centre. Colin’s constant learning, curiosity, passion and contribution to all things Australian have been an inspiration and a great example to all of us. He will be sorely missed and fondly remembered.A dark blue cardboard cover with dark blue tape dwon the spine. On the front cover there is the Rolls Royce logo in gold.
