We are thrilled that again in 2011, a BGHS student has been nominated for the designTECH exhibition ant the Powerhouse Museum, Sydney. Dua Alsafar Ali from this year's year 12 cohort has been nominated for her outstanding major design project, "Wear pink and save lives…" This major design project involved Dua in the planning, implementing and evaluating of a project of her choice as a part of her HSC examination for Design and Technology. Dua's project was a stunning ball gown and promotional materials intended to raise awareness of issues relating to breast cancer and to assist in fundraising for the cause. She liaised with the Cancer Council and utilised their pink ribbons in her design and raised money through the selling of pink ribbons to BGHS students and staff.
Dua's demonstrated talent in the design and construction of her "pink ribbon dress" and she was meticulous in the recording of her process in the design portfolio. We wish Dua well and hope that her work will represent our school in the exhibition.
