Art exhibition and official opening

Congratulations to our 2022 Art Award recipients!

I had the great privilege to welcome the College community to the official opening of the Art Exhibition last Friday 11 November. We are very lucky to have such a thriving culture within the Arts at the College.

Thank you to the Art department for supporting these young artists and most importantly, congratulations to the students on their accomplishments. Well done!
