Student Stories
Zoe Watts
I am in Year 13 and decided to enrol on the Art and Design Trades Academy course as I wanted to expand my learning. At the start of the year, I was a bit nervous about the thought of leaving school so by doing this course it has given me the confidence to be more independent, and I have had heaps of fun as well.
