Our students were tasked to take on roles of designers for posters, banners or tickets for school events like the launch of Wireless@Hillgrove and the Cyberwellness Awareness Campaign, as well as the recent Hillgrove Graduation Night. Opportunities were given to showcase their creativity especially in the conceptualisation of the designs and multimedia skills in area of photo editing using Adobe Photoshop.
