CHILDREN’S art was auctioned at Yooralla’s Narre Warren Central Children’s Centre to help raise money for the centre’s kinder inclusion program.
Margaret Watson, the centre’s parent committee president, told the News the centre raised $700 on Tuesday 24 November, with the art work created by the kinder children and past students of the centre being sold from $10 to $45 a piece.
Ms Watson described the auctioned art work by the children, which included paintings, canvasses, finger painting and photography, as “magnificent and beautiful.”
Her daughter Megaan created a piece of art for the auction with the help of her friends Madaline Turner, Anna Recupreo and Tia Oats.
“Her piece was of the moon, with dark colours such as vivid purples used on it,” Ms Watson said.
Several students from Kilberry Valley Primary School in Hampton Park also offered their creations for auctioning on the night.
Ms Watson is hoping to make the exhibition a yearly fundraising event for the Malcolm Court children’s centre.
