ITC Express: Success

In conjunction with two other Independent Tertiary Colleges, Photography Studies College took part in the first ever ITC Express – Career Teachers Seminar, where Career Teachers from Secondary Schools all over Victoria got to experience three diverse leading institutions in one day.

The day started at ACNM (Australian College of Natural Medicine) where teachers gained insight into the world of private providers from ACPET’s Laura Hougaz. Following an information session about ACNM, teachers boarded the ITC Express bus and were delivered to Photography Studies College. PSC introduced the teachers into the world of photography and the career opportunities that exist for up and coming photographers. Hearing from graduates and current students, the teachers were then given a tour of the college facilities and took part in their very own photo shoot. After their tour through PSC, the teachers were then bussed to the final destination; JMC Academy. During their time they were given the opportunity to talk to students and staff about the entertainment and creative industries as well as tour the impressive facilities JMC has to offer.

Finishing up after a whirlwind tour of three ITC’s, career teachers were extremely impressed with individual providers and the concept of the “ITC Express”. PSC looks forward to combining the efforts again next year for another successful event.

IN 2007 PSC STUDENTS AGAIN SCOOP INDUSTRY AWARDS

At the recent AIPP state awards - Victorian Photography Student of the
Year - held on the 16th October 2007 at the CCP in Fitzroy, PSC students
again scooped the major awards. Sylvia Kreinberg a final year commercial
major student was named overall winner and awarded the Victorian
Photography Student of the Year, while nine other PSC students were
named finalists in four out of the six categories; two of these winning
the Illustrative and Science categories.

When asked about winning the award Sylvia said:
"Winning the VPSYs was an incredible surprise and a real highlight of my
studying journey! I'm very excited and grateful for the recognition
within the industry. I hope to pursue work within the dance/performing
arts field, so I'm glad that it was that image that won. Exposure and
recognition are so important and it will look good on my CV! Sylvia went
on to say "I've loved photography for ages and I remember my very first
evening at PSC - the course was so new and exciting, just what I was
looking for at that stage of my life. My teachers were so enthusiastic
and inspirational, and that really rubbed off on the students. While
I've loved all year levels, I found the first year of the course was
definitely my 'life-changer'!"
