The one night only event saw 172 students graduating, with 161 students showcasing on the graduation night. Students who showcased were from the advance certificate, certificate and Vlisco Competition categories. The event hosted by media personality, Lexis Bill and Abena Chrappah ; Marketing and Communications Manager of JACCD, was well attended by parents, family and friends of graduates.
The Fashion Show was focused on ‘An Earth and Forest’ theme centered on Forest Green, Forest Destruction and Forest Restoration representing the journey to restoring our forest. The show began with a children line up wearing garments made from one time use plastics drumming home the need to recycle. The show continued with garments from the 8 Advance Certificate graduates followed by 135 Certificate graduates.
Fifteen students, who participated in a Vlisco Competition, showcased their garments as judges present evaluated and awarded marks.
