This week North Metropolitan TAFE hosted the 2018 Advanced Diploma of Graphic Design Graduation Show.
PADC Members were there to view the work and celebrate the achievements of the graduating class. The 2018 cohort enjoyed a solid year of success with 4 out of 9 submissions to ISTD SAS accepted, 18 mentored in the AGDA WA ‘Learn the Ropes’ program, 4 students accepted into AWARD School and 3 winning WorldSkills medals (both regionally and nationally).

This year’s show also recognised the contribution of long-serving lecturer Mark Bryant who recently lost his fight against cancer. This year’s graduation annual was titled MARKS in his honour and was a fitting tribute.
