Student Testimony – Paige Rae – Year 11 (Future Runway Winner 2013)
Middle school fashion (Design & Create) provided a fantastic first step into the fashion world. It allowed me to explore different themes and ideas and really develop my own style throughout the process. …I now find it so rewarding creating garments and wearing the clothes that I have made. There is a certain pride that comes with incorporating your own hand made clothes into your everyday outfits.
