We are incredibly proud to celebrate the outstanding achievements of our Arts and Technology students, who have once again showcased their creativity, innovation, and technical skill at the 2025 Melbourne Royal Show. Their exceptional work in both the Art and Textiles categories impressed the judges and highlighted the remarkable talent that flourishes within our college.
This year’s results were nothing short of spectacular — with almost every student entry receiving recognition, ranging from Commendations to Highly Commended (HC) and Very Highly Commended (VHC) awards. A special highlight came when one of the judges expressed interest in purchasing a VET Fashion student’s handcrafted jacket and skirt, a testament to the professional quality and originality of the work produced.
These achievements reflect the students’ dedication to their craft and their ability to bring imaginative ideas to life through meticulous design processes and skilled execution. From intricate textile garments and wearable art to innovative product designs and striking visual artworks, each piece told a unique story and celebrated the power of creativity as a means of expression.
