As part of their Furniture Design I subject, our Interior Design students stepped out of the lecture halls and onto the active production floor of ECL for a factory tour. The experiential trip gave our young designers a first-hand look at mass-production machinery, raw material selection, and heavy-duty assembly methods, helping them bridge their conceptual sketches with real-world structural engineering.

Equator welcomed structural creativity at our SMJK Heng Ee architectural workshop! Led by our lecturer Mr. Teh, the session taught students the fundamentals of layout design, blending practical building rules with Feng Shui principles. The hands-on briefing gave everyone an open platform to pitch their own design ideas and explore the world of architecture.

"Equator welcomed brilliant artistic success at the Yeoh Kongsi competition! We are incredibly proud to witness our student cohorts sweep the top spots, showcasing exceptional creativity and technical skill.

Huge congratulations to Magalatchumi a/p Subramanian (Champion), Ng Yu Fei (1st Runner-Up), Teh Hui Yu (2nd Runner-Up), and our consolation prize recipients, Ginger Tan, Darren Tan, and Wong Kai Sien. A sincere thank you to Yeoh Kongsi for hosting this meaningful event and empowering our students with an outstanding platform to shine."

Students visited the “Museum Fantasy Exhibition” by Winson Ma in Kuala Lumpur, experiencing imaginative artworks that combined fantasy and storytelling. The visit provided creative inspiration and exposure to international contemporary art.

Students from our Diploma in Fashion Design Technology program recently gathered for an exclusive Fashion Department Movie Night to watch The Devil Wears Prada 2 at TGV Cinemas, 1st Avenue Mall. Beyond the entertainment value, the screening served as an engaging learning experience, offering students critical insights into fashion branding, editorial culture, and career development within the global fashion industry. The event also provided a wonderful opportunity for students and lecturers to connect outside the classroom, strengthening the community spirit within the department. We extend our gratitude to Ms. Joo Lee, Dean of Studies, for organizing this enriching extracurricular activity.

Special thanks to Ms Audrey for arranging the AYDA PIC to visit and conduct the briefing session for our students. Your support and effort are truly appreciated.
