Students experiencing schooling right now will be entering a world subject to extreme change. In this world, creativity, innovation and thinking outside the square will be key survival tools. Kelvin Grove State College wants to equip creative students with new ways of looking at and thinking about the world. That is why we are developing curriculum focused on the future, using the best models in art and design education.
