Expression showcase impresses students

The incredible talent and skill of students was on display at Expression again this year. As each year group visited the exhibition throughout the day, many were amazed at the high standard of work. Although parents weren't able to visit as would normally be the case, the opportunity to see the creative projects will be provided in a highlights video in the coming days.

A highlight, as always, was the Year 12 HSC major works. The HSC Design and Technology students created works that met environmental needs like the Surfboard Wet Suit Cleaner, an Enviro Birdcage and an Enviro Skateboard. Other major works displayed the use of the 3D printer – a design to suit the needs of a person wearing a prosthetic and an ergonomic console for a video game. Other projects were designed to meet the need of more home storage for small spaces – guitar and art storage cabinet, an insulated storage box for drinks and a magnetic home storage box system.

HSC Textiles and Design students also designed creative pieces to meet certain needs. They ranged from an intricate wall hanging to a winter jacket with tights. Other designs included a wedding dress, an evening dress, rhythmic gymnastics leotard, a three-piece outfit and a mermaid costume. All designs displayed a high level of construction and design techniques using the equipment and materials available due to advanced technology.

Students in other year groups also had the opportunity to display their creative projects. Some of these projects were developed while learning online throughout the year. Examples included dyeing fabric with items available around the home including onion skin and beetroot. Other projects included teddy bears, cushions and tie-dyed items and some year groups produced children’s clothing and educational toys. Woodwork students created many projects that displayed their skills in use of cutting and measuring tools, sanding, joining and varnishing.

I'm very proud of the way our students have achieved so much and learnt so many different skills despite a disrupted year.
