With families, friends, academic staff, and industry leaders gathered to mark the occasion, the evening honoured the accomplishments, resilience, and creativity of our graduating cohort from across all disciplines in the Bachelor and Associate Degree of Design Arts.

The ceremony opened with a heartfelt Acknowledgment of Country by Adriano Di Prato, Campus Director and Master of Ceremonies, followed by inspiring addresses from Professor Warren Bebbington AM, Chair of the Board of Directors, and Dr. Jason Dewling, Executive Vice President of LCI Education.

One of the most moving moments of the evening came during the Graduate Address, delivered by Alexandra Pennell, who graduated with distinction in Fashion & Costume Design.

“What’s clear to me, and I think to all of us, is that we built something much bigger than deadlines and assignments. We built a sense of community—a support system of fellow artists, designers, friends, and mentors who were there for us every step of the way.” — Alexandra Pennell, Graduate Speaker
