Parents and friends enjoyed the John Tonkin College art and photography exhibition, Out of the Box on September 1, at the MET campus.
The drama performance of Pandora's Box and musical pieces from classical guitar to rock bands were performed by students.
A visual diary of our students' journey, through Year 11 and 12 Art and Design Photography was captured in the 2021 exhibition.
"The group of young inventive minds pushed boundaries and discovered new and original ways to represent their ideas through appropriation of styles and influences," Design, Photography and Drama teacher Annette James said.
"In addition to Visual Arts we joined forces with the Performing Arts, Music and Drama. The music students collaborated, to create their own original rock genre pieces, as well as covers of songs that have inspired their compositions. Students displayed skills in performing a variety of instruments and styles".
