As part of the internship course, BA Photography students have collaborated with The Royal Children’s Hospital (RCH) to celebrate its many heroes, to mark the hospital’s 150-year anniversary.

Launched in partnership with RMIT and BankVic, the exhibition called Hospital Heroes features photos of each nominated staff member. Photography students from the School of Art brought their own creative approaches to capture the staff members who went above and beyond at the RCH.

RCH Foundation Chief Executive Officer Sue Hunt commended the RMIT students’ for their work in creating the exhibition. “We’re particularly honoured to have the support, hard work and creativity of RMIT photography students who have taken the time to get to know each of the heroes and capture their spirit and dedication so beautifully,” Hunt said.“Over six months, these students have displayed incredible respect and kindness in their dealings with the hospital staff, forming friendships and bonds that will surely outlive the gallery.”
