Welcome to the new academic year 2016-2017!

 

The coming of a new academic year always gets the adrenaline flowing.

Ordering museum year cards, assigning lockers, ordering books, planning timetables and the academic calendar and not forgetting writing the welcome letter to students.

To get straight to the heart of the matter, just 10 more weeks until we can celebrate our first graduation ceremony. A very special moment for us. A culmination of much hard work and dedication by all concerned. After a long haul getting everything in place, we were able to open our doors and welcome our first students in September 2013. Now, almost three years later, these students will soon be graduating. A milestone for both the students and the academy.     But before that happens there is still much work to be done. The graduates in Fashion Design ...
