2026 Art & Design Show

The Art and Design Show is an annual highlight of our school calendar, celebrating the creativity, talent and dedication of our students. The 2026 exhibition showcased an outstanding collection of artwork, folios and creative projects, reflecting the countless hours of commitment, experimentation and hard work invested by our VCE students throughout the year.

Bringing together students, families, staff and the wider school community, the evening was an opportunity to recognise and celebrate our students’ achievements. Folio-based subjects demand consistency, perseverance and a willingness to take creative risks, and we are incredibly proud of the talented and hardworking students who bring their ideas to life.

Set in our beautiful STEAM Centre, the evening brought together art, design, food and music in a vibrant celebration of creativity and community.
