QR Passenger Positive Partnerships Thank Milpera Students For Chelmer Stations Captivating Mural

5 March 2009

QR Passenger Positive pARTnerships program will host a morning tea on Thursday 5 March at Chelmer Park for Milpera State High School students who helped design and paint a mural on the Chelmer station subway wall.

The impressive student designed mural consists of 45 butterflies in five different shapes completed and installed over a painted background of butterfly silhouettes.

The light morning tea of muffins and drinks is in appreciation to the 60 students who assisted QR Passenger?s Positive pARTnerships artists create the visually eye catching mural.

QR Passenger Executive General Manager Paul Scurrah said ?positive partnerships is one of the key areas we seek to involve the community and is essential to our customer service focus.?

?This mural will provide students from the Milpera high school with a sense of ownership of the Chelmer station and they can be justifiable proud of their work. The Positive pARTnerships program brings together creative minds and artistic ability of varying levels to actively improve station facilities and the appearance of stations and car parks.?

The Milpera state secondary school provides intensive English language and settlement services to prepare newly arrived immigrant and refugee students for participation in secondary schools around the Brisbane area.

?We are also working with Milpera for the Rail Safety Orientation Day which is being held on 18 March at Roma Street station to educate students as to expectations of behavior and safety for all passengers on trains and platforms,? Mr Scurrah said.

The positive pARTnerships program involves local schools, community groups and organisations in the beautification of our train stations which can include station walls, shelter sheds, subways, car parks and bike lockers throughout the South East Queensland network.

The program validates QR Passenger?s commitment to the safety and well being of customers while enhancing community pride.
