🌟 Our July Upskills was a big hit! 🌟 We kicked things off by getting creative and engaging all our senses in our very first Floral Arrangements Workshop with the wonderful Gail @floralteambuildingandevents. Participants walked away with stunning floral creations—and a new appreciation for the art of floristry! 🌸🌿 💄 In our Beauty course, students explored the world of skincare and cosmetics, learning facial techniques and makeup skills. ☕ Meanwhile, in Café & Customer Service, students put their hospitality skills to the test—taking orders, making milkshakes and mocktails, and serving up smiles to their parents! 🍓🥤 🎨✨ With creativity flowing and pencils in hand, the Character Illustration & Design students explored what it takes to develop a unique character—from personality to visual style. By the end of the session, each student had brought their very own character to life! 👾✏️ 💇♀️✂️ In our Hairdressing Workshop, students got hands-on with the art of blow drying, styling and straightening —learning the foundational skills needed in the salon. A big shout-out to all the participants who brought their enthusiasm and curiosity to every session. We love seeing you build confidence, try something new, and have fun while doing it! All the workshops offered provide a pathway to commence a SBA and complete your HSC at CathWest.
