As is tradition, our Senior Technology Showcase offers a one-night only opportunity for family, staff in other disciplines, friends, and students to view our technology students’ year-long projects. Hosted in the Jack Paine Centre on 29 August, guests packed out the atrium and enjoyed roaming round the exhibitions while the crowds continued to arrive.
Every pocket of the JPC was packed with true kiwi ingenuity. The exhibition featured projects ranging from Animation and Motion Graphics to Building and Construction, reflecting the breadth of Technology courses available at the College.
Design and Visual Communication students impressed with a wide range of architectural and product design. The Year 12 Product Design students also displayed their craftsmanship with innovative and functional high risk product holders, reflecting a balance of both aesthetic appeal and practicality.
Each year, the Year 11s Product Design exhibition hails as the attention grabber, with this year being no different. A dim hallway illuminated only by students’ designs offered a unique sensory experience for guests to walk through. Many stopped to analyse the clever ways various mediums were used to command attention with their lighting components.
While browsing the projects, guests were offered canapés designed and made by the Food Technology students.
The Fashion and Textiles Design students wrapped the evening, bringing their designs to life in a dynamic runway show. Attendees gathered round, applauding each item of meticulously sewn clothing, knowing countless hours of work was reflected in each garment.
Upon reflection of the evening, Year 11 Misha Ryabtsev expressed the pride and enjoyment she had in the event. “I liked how all the technologies blended together. While you looked at Product Design work, Food Technology were coming round with food. It was nice having the fashion show as a focal point in the middle.”
Thank you to the staff, parents, caregivers, and friends who came out to support our ever-growing technology space. These students are our future innovators, and we remain committed to nurturing the creativity that will propel them to the forefront of their chosen fields in just a few short years.
