The exhibition showcased student Major Projects and Design Portfolios from last year. Students were able to witness first hand the creativity, innovation and successful design concepts in the impressive student projects. Students viewed projects with extensive research, testing and prototype development and evaluation techniques in the process of solving the identified design brief. These tangible examples were valuable for students' own project development. 

A student's perspective: Year 12 Design and Technology class and Mrs Robertson caught the train into the city. We first started by walking through the Jenny Kee and Linda Jackson Exhibition which had dresses and pieces of clothing which were very colourful and full of texture. We listened to a talk from Andrew Coates, who was a software designer. Andrew gave us some great tips to consider when designing such as the valuable skill of listening throughout the design process. Then we had a look at last year's Major Design Projects which were outstanding. This was a great experience as it showed us various ways to set out our portfolios to make them informative and engaging for the marker. Further, we listened to a talk from a HSC Senior Marker who gave us some great tips for what markers look for in Major Design Portfolios. Overall, this day was great and we all got a lot of useful information out of it.
