TAS Upcoming Assessments 

 Senior Workshop time 

Senior students have been offered Monday afternoons 3pm-4pm as an extra opportunity to work on their major projects in the workshop space with their teacher. The above completion dates may seem far away, but they will be fast upon us, so it is vitally important that students be working on both PROJECT and PORTFOLIO consistently between now and then. As a guide, students are expected to work at least one hour a week at home on their portfolios. 

Fees 

Subject Fee letters have gone home.  This covers the cost of consumable materials and supplies. Payment can be made online via the CHS website. Payment options are available. Students can pay weekly, per term or as a lump sum payment. If financial hardship exists, please don’t hesitate to contact the finance department within the school. 

Shoes 

All students require fully covered leather shoes to participate in the kitchens and workshops for Work Health and Safety requirements. Students in incorrect footwear are unable to participate and will be set alternate theory work in another supervised class. 

Year 7 Textiles  

Year 7 students who have been studying the Material Technologies: Textiles rotation have had the opportunity this term to sample some fabric decoration techniques such as Applique and Hand Stitching, Tie-dye, Iron on Vinyl, Paint Stick & Couching. They then got to choose at least 2 of these techniques to design and create a recyclable shopping bag that meets the design criteria given to them. Below are some of the samples created.  

Year 8 Timber – Jewellery Boxes  

Year 8 students have completed some quality Jewellery/storage boxes in the first rotation of Material Technology (Timber). We are looking forward to helping our next rotation of students to develop some skills in working timber. 

Year 9 Food Technology – Instagram Worthy Freak Shakes 

Late last term, Year 9 Food Technology students participated in their first assessment task – designing and creating a Freak Shake. The students had a lot of fun with this task and below are some of their creations.  

Year 10 Industrial Technology – Upcycled Project 

Year 10 Industrial Tech were given the task of designing and developing an upcycled product made from materials found in their house. Here are some of the outstanding products that were developed. 

Year 11 Community & Family Studies - Interviews 

Year 11 CAFS students have just completed their first assessment task. They were tasked with interviewing a person who supports an individual with special needs to achieve their goals and better manage their resources.  

The interviews were very interesting to listen to and we are proud of the effort the students have made for their first task in CAFS. A BIG thank you goes out, to all the wonderful people in our community who graciously agreed to be interviewed by our students; you do an amazing job supporting individuals with special needs and were superstar interviewees. 

Year 11 Hospitality 

Year 11 Hospitality students started Term 2 by completing their mandatory 35 hours of work placement. They learnt valuable workplace skills in communication and cookery. Congratulations McKenzie and Angelina who were offered employment as they showcased their magnificent work ethic and employability skills. 

Students must return the work placement journal to their Hospitality teacher and upload a photo of the completed time sheet to the online learning platform Evidence Central.
