 If you haven't yet attended one of these exciting workshops, the new program for 2006 will ensure everyone develops new and exciting skills as samba drummers.
 Come along on any Tuesday at 5.00pm to the Joondalup ECU Sports Centre. No experience is necessary and beginners are strongly encouraged!
This is an excellent stress relief and a great way to shake off the work or study blues. For further information, contact the City of Joondalup on (61 8) 9400 4705 or click here to download a flyer. |

 Patima Tantiprasut is an ECU graduate who followed her dream. She completed a Bachelor of Communications (Interactive Multimedia & Graphic Design) in 2005 and currently works as a Web Designer for a company called Bam Creative.
“Ever since my high school days I knew that I wanted to become a graphic designer, so when Graphic Design became a new major in TEE Art I opted to try it out. I was also very fascinated with computers and my skills with using them became better as I started learning how to use design and illustration programs.
"During my course at ECU I learnt about web development and design techniques that have helped me to land my dream job as a web designer at Bam Creative. Not only did ECU teach me new skills, I also learnt how to ‘learn’.
" This has helped me greatly to adapt in an industry that is constantly changing and advancing in techniques. I made many friends at ECU - both students and staff who I still see even to today. Most of these people are involved in the same industry and we attend a lot of ‘networking’ events together.
"My plans for the future involve continuing my studies in a project management direction (in the web industry) and also to pursue my music career as a guitarist for an all girl band, Jonas.”
