'Be true to your work, your word and your friend' Mural of quote by John Boyle O'Reilly
This creative wall mural for Breifne College, Cavan, took inspiration from Irish flowers and a quote from John Boyle O’Reilly. The quote “Be true to your work, your word and your friend” encourages the students to live a life of integrity by staying committed and honest in their academic duties, personal promises, and friendships.
The mural was painted over the Summer with the help of two eager students over the course of two days. Their assistance was much appreciated, particularly in painting the bottom row of lettering.
Creative painted murals in schools offer a variety of benefits to children and teenagers, enhancing their educational experience and personal development in multiple ways.
