A Red Ribbon Runs Through It is a book built around the stories and reflections from the Toorak College community. Created for students, families, alumni and the wider school network, Hyphen wanted to ensure the story of how the school came to be lives on for generations and can be passed along to all future students.

This incredible narrative spans 342 pages, which is a testimony to the value Toorak College places on their heritage. Rich with detailed archival imagery, personal anecdotes and stories from over 150 years, this is not only a record of the past but the beginnings of a new chapter at Toorak College.

One of the most exciting things about working on this project with Hyphen was that it was such a partnership as the project evolved. The passion that Neil had for our story meant that we saw our history anew.  What stands out the most though, was the absolute investment in this project from every team member at Hyphen, as the book evolved and the finished product arrived our shared interest in its success was evident.
