Vocation Education and Training

Our Vocational Education and Training department has been a hive of activity over this term. The Year 11 students are now preparing for their Term 4 work placements, with staff matching our student’s interests and abilities to appropriate host employers. These mandatory work placements are a real highlight for our students as they can demonstrate the skills and knowledge learnt at the College to those required in industry.

 

Metal and Engineering

The Year 11 Metal and Engineering class have now completed the fabrication of their toolbox where skills of drawing interpretation, marking out, cutting, folding, welding and machining have been learnt and implemented. Students are now looking forward to spray painting the useful and well-constructed project.

Information Digital Technology

Year 12 Information and Digital Technology Specialisation class will finish off their final assessment this week, which involves network administration and problem solving. These students have been working towards their full Certificate III qualification since Year 10 and will be looking forward to receiving the reward of their efforts.

 

Construction

Year 11 Construction are close to finishing the Dog Kennel project. This project introduces students to the basics of house construction by creating wall frames, internal and external cladding, gable roof, skirting and architraves. Students have been working in groups to produce the projects sharing jobs and learning new skills from each other.

Year 12 Construction have just painted and erected the frames for a new Chicken Coop at the Agriculture plot. The class has worked well to design and produce this new addition to the Agriculture plot. Students will use the skills and practical knowledge and skills learnt during this project in their HSC examination. The final stages of the Chicken Coop will be completed by the Year 11 class.

 

Year 12 have completed their trial exams with some pleasing results. Those students who will sit the HSC exam are now refining their examination techniques so that they can clearly demonstrate their learning under exam conditions.
