Recognising Talent with Connected 9 Student Awards

Having run for nine years, our annual Connected exhibitions are an opportunity to collaborate with our friends at Nulsen Disability Services. We have raised close $28,000 for Nulsen since our inaugural exhibition in 2016. The strength of our bond and community spirit is clearly reflected in the collaborative effort and support from both All Saints' College and Nulsen Communities.

We would like to recognise the students, staff and community members who created beautiful works of art for the Connected 9 Auction. There are numerous incredible displays of creativity and talent, and we'd like to highlight the winners of the student awards:
