G'day all,
The Boulder Town Hall was 100 years old on last Thursday and the Kalgoorlie Town will be 100 in September.
They have had different events at the hall all week, a piano recital, a ball, and a play along with tours etc.
City Of Kalgoorlie-Boulder

Goatcher Curtain - Museum Attractions

Andy's graphic design class was asked to design a Tshirt for the event and to design a piece for display over the week of celebrations.
His pic has the Town hall in the centre and depicts Paddy Hannan, Founder of Kalgoorlie-Boulder and the Super Pit.

Thanks all for the nice comments, he makes me proud, and when he comes up with something like this, it gives me hope that he will be able to get by in spite of his autism.

Hello John, hats off to you and your son. Anybody who takes the time to help our young people with mental or phisical challenges, deserves a lot of credit.
A lot of kids and young adults never suceed at anything in a regular school and get frustrated. Finding that one thing that gives them the ability to be proud and feel like they are worth something can be a life changing event.
Like everybody else we all need to do something well.
Alan.
