Artist Extraordinaire
BCC alumnus Christine Blowfield is the Artist in Residence for Art Extraordinaire 2025!
Christine is a multi‑award winning acrylic artist based in the South West, whose vibrant large‑format canvases bring the region’s unique flora and landscapes to life through bold colour, rich texture, and immersive perspective.
With works featured in both national and international collections, she marries environmental appreciation with emotive storytelling through her art.
Christine’s captivating portrayal of the Pilbara ‘Cast of Light – View from Mount Sheila’ recently won the People’s Choice at the 2025 Cossack Art Awards.
It will be a joy and an honour to have such a passionate Artist in Residence. You can see Christine in her Art Extraordinaire creative space throughout the exhibition on the weekend of October 25-26.

Littlefair: The Band
WA indie-folk rock musicians ‘Littlefair’, featuring ex-students Jess and Kira Depiazzi, are busy playing gigs after releasing their debut EP ‘Forever Is a Long Time’.
The sisters, Jess — Class of 2012 and Kira — Class of 2015, have teamed up with their cousin Mary Depiazzi and Littlefair members Jaik Rushan, Joseph Buckle and Jess’ husband Gareth Peach.
A keen follower of the band is BCC Technologies Teacher Bernie Depiazzi, who is proud of his daughters’ achievements: Jess is a scientist and Kira is a doctor but they’ve never stopped creating music.

Mr DJ Noshboy Scores Yacht Week!
Liam Northcroft is an Education Assistant at Bunbury Catholic College — and winner of the world’s biggest aspiring DJ competition!
Liam, aka Noshboy, has received word that he will be travelling to Croatia in August to DJ at a week-long floating festival called Yacht Week — as part of his prize for winning last year’s ‘Your Shot’ DJ competition.
We have been lucky enough to experience Liam’s talents and see the joy his music brought to students at the Year 11 Semi-Formal.
We wish Liam all the best: from BCC to the Adriatic — let the music take you there!
