Dean Semler, a distinguished former student of Renmark High School, was recently honoured with the grand opening of the Dean Semler Design Centre, a space dedicated to fostering creativity and innovation. This special dedication recognises Dean Semler’s remarkable achievements in the film industry.

Born in Renmark, Dean Semler began his career as a camera operator, later making his mark with acclaimed documentary, educational, and blockbuster films. His journey from the Riverland to international film success serves as an inspiration to current and future students.

Following the ceremony held in the Chaffey Theatre, SRC students, staff, and friends of Dean Semler gathered in the Dean Semler Design Centre for the official opening, which was followed by afternoon tea with tea and coffee provided for all guests. The Dean Semler Design Centre will provide students with inspiring opportunities to pursue creative pathways and develop skills that can lead to their own remarkable achievements.
