The College Arts Show, formerly known as the Wearable Arts Show, returned this year with a new and exciting format, combining fashion, visual art, media, and performance for a taste of the creativity across artists in various disciplines. The evening took place in a transformed Elliot Hall, with dimmed lights and a central runway surrounded by an eager audience. At the end of the runway, judges Ms Bridgette Ellis and Mrs Michelle Reid sat poised, ready to appreciate over forty wearable art creations designed by our talented students.

As each unique creation walked the runway, the crowd rewarded the designers efforts with celebratory applause. The students involved independently designed and brought their artistic visions to life, many spending overtime hours at school to create and innovate their piece. Between segments, the runway saw interludes of various dance troupes, our 40-hour Film Festival finalists’ film, and visual arts students sharing behind-the-scenes insights into their creative process.

Arts Prefects Keeley Berkovits and Amelie Carter served as MCs for the night, providing thoughtful commentary on each creation and keeping the energy high throughout the evening.

After much deliberation, our Wearable Art winners were announced: Rags to Runway (Senior School), Language of Liberation (Middle School), and Overgrown Gardenscape (Sustainability). Visual art awards went to Helen Stoof (Year 11-13), Jessica Jin (Year 9-10), and Alex Zhong (Year 7-8).

The ever-flourishing creative community at the College put on a visually stunning, stimulating, and entertaining show that was the highlight of our visual artists year. We look forward to continuing to provide stages for our artists to showcase their talent.
