With spray cans, paintbrushes and a whole lot of creativity, students from Flaxmere College have transformed what once was a derelict 40-foot shipping container into a piece of art.
Ten Year 11 students have spent the past 14 months taking part in Project K - a programme run by the Graeme Dingle Foundation which backs youth development.
Now in the tail-end of the programme, which ends in August, they have just finished their "community experience" on Te Awanga Marae and the Flaxmere Community Gardens.
Local artist Cinzah Merkens believed it not only reflected the area both historically and culturally, it gave those working on the artwork a sense of pride and ownership over that space.
