Performing Arts Concert delights packed audience

Our Performing Arts Concert was a huge success, with a packed audience enjoying an evening of wonderful performances.   The concert began with a series of solo performances across three venues, giving students the chance to showcase their individual talents.  The evening continued with an energetic ensemble concert, featuring a wide range of performances from our talented students.

Thank you to everyone who performed, supported the students and helped make the event possible.  It was a fantastic celebration of the creativity, commitment and spirit of our Performing Arts community.

Textiles & Jewellery Students Explore Fashion Week

Our excursion to the Nicholas Building for the Melbourne Fashion Week exhibition was a really enjoyable and interesting experience.  The Nicholas Building is a significant part of Melbourne’s creative industry, known for its connections to independent artists and designers. 

The exhibition, presented by ZINC Australian Archival, celebrated the evolution of Australian fashion through various garments from the 1980s, 1990s and 2000s.  The exhibition featured influential Australian designers such as Sara Thorn, Bruce Slorach, Collette Dinnigan, Akira Isogawa, Tsubi and Sass & Bide, and displayed how fashion styles, materials, techniques and trends have evolved throughout the decades, highlighting Australia’s changing fashion identity. 

Although the exhibition was quite small and held in just one room, the space was used very well, allowing each garment to stand out without the room feeling overcrowded.

Another highlight was the friendliness and enthusiasm of the exhibition staff, who showed a genuine interest in sharing their knowledge about the designers and history of each piece on display.

Overall, it was a great opportunity for our class to learn more about Australia’s fashion history and appreciate local designers.
