“St Francis College provided me with genuine support from all teachers and my peers. It
allowed me to explore my passion for creative arts with different extra-curricular activities
like the school band and the House of Champions dance program. …it allowed me to take on
more responsibility and creative freedom – unlocking my craft. This has led me to want to
create and tell stories through different photography and videography art forms.” Follow
