Raffles College of design and commerce open day

Hollywood comes to town for Raffles Open Day

Raffles College's annual Open Day on Saturday September 5 is shaping up to be a load of fun with a lot of Hollywood glamour thrown in.

With visual communication courses in focus, parents and their teenagers will be able to watch and take part in three different photo shoots by Raffles College students. Inspired by old Hollywood glamour, the students will emulate Audrey Hepburn in Breakfast at Tiffany's, characters from The Wizard of Oz and Marilyn Monroe in The Seven Year Itch - it will be lights, camera, action all day long.

One of the best things about Raffles College's Open Day is the chance to speak to both design and commerce students who are attending the college right now as well as students who have finished their studies and are now working at careers they really love.Raffles College student, Chloe Ferres, of Lane Cove, will be on hand to talk to prospective students on Open Day. Chloe has just won two prizes, a first place and a second place, in the Ilford Tertiary Students Photographic Competition. She won $450 cash and $100 worth of Ilford photographic paper with her first place in the Black and White Darkroom Category (for an abstract beauty shot) and second place in the Digital Inkjet Category (for a shot of the Sydney Opera House). Her winning works will be published in Ilford Images magazine for photography teachers.

Chloe is about to graduate with a Bachelor of Arts (Visual Communication) majoring in photography. She says she has loved her studies at Raffles College. "It's been lots of fun. It's such a great learning environment, with small classes, and you get lots of one-on-one time with the teachers, so they pass on a vast amount of knowledge to you," Chloe says.

The other great thing about Raffles College's Open Day is it is great fun! You can come and 'play' in the film studio, where special effects will be captured using a blue screen, or try the new multimedia lab where you can have a go at 2D and 3D animation, which is what our games design students get to do every day.

Have a bite to eat from our sausage sizzle, watch our Graduation Fashion Show and see displays of student work. The Parent and Student Information Session at 12 noon is a great opportunity to hear about all the latest developments at Raffles including information about our very popular Commerce courses too.
