From hating school and struggling with his dyslexia to finding his passion for creating and discovering a love of learning. Renowned sculptor Nick Elphick shares his unique St David's College story.
Nick the universe was showing off when you were made. How brave were your Parents to place you at a college that would feed your Soul. Kind deeds change Lives. Australia
I attended from 2002-2007 and I couldn't agree more this school builds foundations for kids who have been failed by other schools, it set me up with friends that are more family and a confidence in myself that had been eroded by former schools, thank you to Mr Seymour and all staff at St Davids College.
What a fantastic school ! Allowing for the pupils to develop their talents individually, and truly shine..... How I wish I could have done the same in my day.
My final school did the same for me. Only great schools can achieve this, the individuals, not the collective. It was a private schools I got in on a hardship scholarship. I didn’t know at the time what that even meant. They opened doors for me I never knew existed. Unlocked my potential.
This guy to me is the most amazingly skilled artist and artisan. Meaning that he has the technology to make his art, and restorations in addition to making art. Interesting that the school facilitated the discovery of his talents.
St David's College unlocks its pupils potential and does not merely indoctrinate students into compliant automatons but produces genius' like Nick Elphick one of the master artist/sculptors of our time!
I hated school too and found my passion in art. I hear you!!
You are my favourite restorer. Very skilled. I take my hat off to you.

What a beautiful man. Wonderful that his parents never gave up on him. Unfulfilled potential is the ultimate human tragedy.
A very humble person. Watching the way he defers to Drew shows he has respect for anyone.
