Goals

• To provide opportunities for high quality vocational learning and access to lifelong learning pathways

• To promote understanding between cultural and gender groups and transformation in the fields of design and photography, and in so doing, to contribute to the economic and social development of the broader spectrum of South African society

• To grow and develop students whose academic and professional conduct embodies the principles of good citizenship

Principles

• Through a learning method based on investigation and experimentation,we encourage and assist students in their personal journey of creative expression towards a fulfilling professional career.

• We believe that the theoretical and social aspects of design are as important as the development of technical skills, and that it is important for students to understand the linkages between the social, aesthetic and technical aspects of their work. To this end we make visible the connections between different courses, so that students develop an overall appreciation of how the various aspects of their studies are interlinked

• To assist them to find their place in the world, our students are exposed on a regular basis to the expertise of professional guest speakers in addition to the full-time teaching programme,and are provided with opportunities to participate in specialised workshops and cultural outings
