A landscape of five mountains now proudly marks the entrance to Arataki School in honour of its jubilee celebrations.
The mural, painted by Tauranga artist Owen Dippie depicts five local mountains which the school's syndicate teams are named after - Mauao, Hopukiore (Mt Drury), Kopukairoa, Mangatawa and Hikurangi.
"That's something really special for Arataki School," principal Dene Langley said. "I'm really stoked with it, Owen did a wonderful job.
"He is a real role model for the young children for this sort of art work."
Mr Langley thought this was Dippie's first scenery picture as he usually painted people.
