Level 3 Design and Visual Communication

Year 13 DVCO represents the culmination of students' design and communication learning, showcasing their ability to manage a complex, self-directed design project. Students undertake highly personalised briefs where they are challenged to demonstrate expertise in design thinking, spatial awareness, ergonomic consideration, and cultural relevance. They are expected to present comprehensive and professional visual communication outcomes, using a combination of digital and traditional techniques.

Throughout the year, students refine sophisticated creative, critical, and practical skills that are directly transferable to university study and the workforce. Year 13 DVC prepares students to become confident, independent thinkers who can use design as a powerful tool to innovate, solve problems, and communicate across a wide range of industries and disciplines.
