Changes in attitudes/behaviour reflection We noticed an increase in community discussion between parents/carers and children while commuting to and from school due to the mascot murals. We also observed that most pedestrians and active transport users are stopping to look at the mural at each driveway intersection. We also observed, particularly during the painting period that many drivers were slowing down and taking notice of the painting of the mural mascots.
