RAFFLES SERVES UP YUMMY HOT CUSTARD

Hot Custard was this year’s theme for our Annual Graduation Exhibition. Graduation was extended beyond the actual ceremony into a 2-day event that celebrated graduation and showcased student work. Graduates' families were also provided families with a “connected” quality experience.

The College is proud to further support our student achievements through the graduating exhibition, promoting their work to industry, providing networking opportunities and helping with employment opportunities.

Raffles College’s Hot Custard Graduate Exhibition Opening Night Party was launched to great acclaim on Tuesday, July 15.

With a fire dancer, pumping music, champagne and a living “custard yellow” statue, the 350 guests were warmed to the core.

Praise for the exhibition of more than 50 works was effusive. From the creatively diverse graphic design works, to the fashion portfolios and stunning final pieces, the ingenious interior design works, standout photographs and multimedia works, the exhibition, which continued until Friday July 25, was a feast for the senses.

Associate Professor Madeline Lester, immediate past president of the International Federation of Interior Architects/Designers, spoke to the graduates of the importance of design in our lives and inspired them to continue on their chosen creative paths.

The graduating students were all ecstatic with the event and even brought along friends from other schools to share in the fun.

In a touching highlight, one of the College’s most successful graphic design students and the winner of last year’s Kinokuniya Digital Art Prize, Oat Montien, presented Raffles College’s CEO Ron Newman with one of his artworks.

Oat told Professor Newman: “It's my pleasure to give back something to the college after all these years of great education.”

Hot Custard enjoyed a steady flow of interested viewers since while open to the public from July 16-25 July.

Fashion Marketing - Sarah McKinnon moved from Port Stephens to study at Raffles. "I was attracted to Raffles College because of its good reputation, great North Sydney location and interesting courses. It was also a big advantage to be able to start the course mid-year. The course isn't what I expected. You're taught everything and you do common subjects across all the majors in the first semester. Everyone talks about their work so you have great interaction and exchange of ideas".
