Welcome to 2024, this year we have some exciting, fun projects to push students creative and critical thinking, we are excited to share the journey with students, parents and careers.

For those new to our school the Creative Industries Faculty is made up of Design Technologies, Visual Arts and Media Arts. Our subjects create pathways for further education in Creative Industries, Film, Media, Journalism, Photography, Marketing, Design, Architecture, Graphic Design, Hospitality, Trades, Building and Construction, Engineering.

In our subject students have the opportunities to learn new skills using a wide range of tools and equipment. Including 3D Printers, Laser Cutter, Kiln, Cameras, Greenroom, CAD Software, CNC Router, CNC Plasma Cutter and much more. All of this wonderful equipment can have an element of risk when learning how to use them. It is a requirement that we have parent consent for a number of our classes this is so that as parents you understand the risk associated with the class and cost of equipment.

Below is a link to our Design Technologies Parent Consent form - All students studying Design Technologies, Design Engineering, Design, Engineering Pathways or Construction are required to have this completed before beginning practical activities. If your child is studying more then one of these subjects, they are only required to complete the form once.
