Cara who has wanted to be a hairdresser since the age of 10 has work exceptionally hard to achieve great heights in her career to date. With fantastic attendance and work ethic at both her salon 'Daly Barber' and at Clip Joint Education it is no surprise that Cara was recognised with this award. Cara seems to live life to the max in work, life and play, with spare time being spent sky diving and socialising with friends. Cara's great attitude can also be attributed to the daily struggle she has living ith Cystic Fibrosis. This has a big effect on her character and allows her to look at things in a more optomistic and positive way.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>VET Make-up Students Shine in their 'Face It' Photoshoot</title><link>http://www.clipjoint.com.au/vet-make-up-students-shine-in-their-face-it-photoshoot</link><pubDate>Mon, 24 Oct 2011 00:00:00 </pubDate><description>&lt;p&gt;As the school term came to a close, our VET Make-up studnets presented their 'Face It' projects.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;This project allowed the girls to truly get creative and design a total look, selecting everything from their model, clothes, photographic location and most importantly the make-up design which would reflect their chosen theme.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Themes varied from Bridal, Fashion, Pin Up and even Alice in Wonderland, just to name a few. The students this year surpassed any expectation and achieved stellar results, as seen with Celine Ashby's final picture with model Zafiro - theme 'Pin Up Salior Girl'&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Again, all the girls should be extremely proud of themselves. With work such as this to kick start their careers, we look forward to seeing what they achieve next!&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>Jungle Book brought to life by Wilderness School</title><link>http://www.clipjoint.com.au/jungle-book-brought-to-life-by-wilderness-school</link><pubDate>Mon, 26 Sep 2011 00:00:00 </pubDate><description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;Clip Joint Education students help create character's colourful looks!&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

They have invested in their teaching staff and immersed them in the Sassoon Academy proprietary ABC cutting methodology.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;"We have been trialing the new cutting system since the start of the year and teachers and students agree that it takes haircutting to new levels of confidence"said Johnny Georgiou, Art Director at Clip Joint Education. "Clip Joint has invested in teacher training to ensure that we have the skills for teaching the Sassoon systems" Johnny continued. "During the past 12 months, seven of our teachers have attended training sessions at the Sassoon Academy in both London and Santa Monica. Two more leave next month for more training in Santa Monica. This investment in the training staff has paid off for Clip Joint Education as our educatiors have become passionate believers in the ABC | Cutting and Coloring Hair the Sassoon Way and this is being reflected in the quality in the quality of the work our students produce".&lt;/p&gt;
