Nirvana Steiner has brought extra colour to Pāterangi School with a series of painted signs representing each class.
Nirvana works at Pāterangi School doing before and after-school care and has been painting for two years since she was a Year 12 student.
Pāterangi School principal Mark Harrop thought it would be great to have a sign outside of each classroom.
Nirvana was more than happy to volunteer for the project.
"I had heaps of offcuts of plywood at home so I cut them to size and used those - each sign took me about eight hours all up," said Nirvana.
