The annual Monbulk College Arts and Technology Show will be held on 14 of November, from 5pm to 7pm.

The college will be open to the public, and lovers of all things creative may come and admire the incredible displays, and support the students as they move through their own creative journey.

The works displayed are described as being greatly varied in genre and purpose, with The Arts Department represented by subjects including, Photomedia, Ceramics, Visual Communication and Design, Studio Arts, Music and Drama.

The Technology Department has contributed works from Metalwork, Woodwork, Food Technology, Creative Digital Media, Animations, Game Programming, Systems Engineering and Product Design Technology.

“The Monbulk Art and Technology Show is an important part of the Monbulk College calendar,” said Helen MacInnes, the Monbulk College Arts Coordinator.

“Our school community loves to see what the students have created, it’s always so exciting and rewarding for the students to see their work framed on the wall, or elevated on a plinth in a semi-professional setting.

“For the students it’s a shared joy and a shared success. The staff support and encourage the students in their creative pursuits and the annual show is a testament to their successes.”

Monbulk College traditionally performs strongly across all Arts and Technology areas, with students Madeline George and Hayley Watson both included in the prestigious Top Arts exhibition, in 2016 and 2017 respectively.

Chadai Chamoun was included in the 2016 Top Designs exhibition for her Animation in VCE VET Creative and Digital Media. Students in this study have also been awarded the esteemed Premier’s Awards, only awarded to the top students in the state, in VCE VET Creative & Digital Media in 2009 and 2016.

The Monbulk College Art and Technology Show will be held on Thursday 14 of November, from 5pm to 7pm, with a light supper provided.
