Inspiring Talent Showcased at the Year 12 Art & Design Exhibition

On Friday 1 November, the school community celebrated the achievements of our Year 12 Art and Design students at an exhibition in the Foyer Gallery. On display are 27 practical pieces, an exciting array of Art and Design work, paintings, a sculptural installation, fashion design, architectural design, jewellery design and a range of graphic design projects. The students’ personal style, talents and interests have all shone through in the work on display.  The exhibition was opened by old scholar Isabelle Dick. Isabelle graduated in 2016 and studied a Bachelor of Interior Architecture at Uni SA, she now works as an Interior Designer at the FabriKate studio. Isabelle inspired us with a description of her journey as a designer and reminded us all to make the most of every opportunity as you establish your career in the creative industries. Our fantastic 2024 Art leaders Pia and Milla reflected on their year in a heartfelt speech and Ms McEvoy awarded Visual Art student Elizabeth Burgess with the 2024 School Acquisition Award. Her captivating painting ‘The Beauty of Everything’ will now be part of the permanent collection initiated by Sr Judith Redden in 1990.

The opening evening was a wonderful celebration of the students’ courage, creativity, and individuality and we look forward to seeing where their creative skills lead them in the future.

The exhibition is on until November 22^nd and we encourage students and families to view this stunning exhibition.
