Celebrating student success. 🌟🎉

Last week we were thrilled to celebrate the remarkable accomplishments of our students at the Reg Russom Memorial Award, where Bachelor of Creative Practice student Sol Nilssen shone bright, taking home the prestigious scholarship.

A huge round of applause also goes to Brydie Cussan, Paul Templeman, and Neve O’Malley, whose outstanding entries earned them a highly commended.

Thank you to our judge Gillean Shaw from University Galleries for your time, attention, and thoughtful consideration. And to Arts National Newcastle and the Hunter TAFE Foundation for making this scholarship possible - Together, we're empowering a brighter future!

Unleashing creativity and pushing boundaries, our Certificate III students are redefining the art of sculpture, one wire at a time! 🌟

By twisting wire into armature figures and layering them with hessian and plaster, they're bringing their visions to life in extraordinary forms.
