A heartfelt thank you to everyone who attended the Graduate Art & Design Exhibition during CREATE Week. It was an inspiring evening, celebrating the incredible talent of our emerging artists and designers from Year 12 Visual Communication Design and Art Creative Practice, across a wide range of disciplines, including ceramics, painting, drawing, sculpture, photography, and diverse design fields such as object design, design messages, interactive experiences, and design environments.
Each piece on display showcased the creativity, innovation, and dedication that will shape the future of art and design. A special congratulations to Vivien Maplestone for being awarded the Acquisition Prize—a well-deserved recognition of your outstanding work.
Also, a huge congratulations to Ava Lesslie and Israa Abdulrahman, who received the Deans Art Prize for their exceptional final pieces, demonstrating the highest level of artistic and design excellence.
We are incredibly proud of all our graduates and look forward to seeing how each of them continues to contribute to the world of art and design.

End of Year Concert
All the concerts, especially the end of year concert, were a highlight for me. I have had so much fun this year participating in all that the Thornbury High School music program has to offer, and I personally can’t wait to go on to the Year 8 extension band next year. The concerts this school holds have such a positive feeling to them and it’s wonderful to see so many members of our community gather at these events to not only support their family and or children, but every student that participated to help make each evening one to remember.
