The objective of the Club is to instruct students in basic black and white photography. This includes the following:

• how to handle and maintain your camera
• how to use your camera to ensure satisfactory photographs in a range of situations
• how to develop your own film
• how to print your own photographs
• how to present your photographs

Facilities can cater for up to twenty students from all age groups. However, it is the intention of the Club to develop competence in Year 8 - 9 students, to ensure photographic expertise in Year 11 - 12. Once students have acquired an acceptable level of competence in handling the photographic medium, they will become valuable assistants in the production of the College magazine, "Portal", and in gathering a photographic record of the wide variety of activities at BBC.

The Photography Club usually runs three afternoons a week (3.15pm - 5.00pm) for the whole year.
