- Blake Curtis turning a large display timber piece.
- Jake Bailey continuing with his drop-down sliding fridge, which he has nearly completed with multiple design elements solved.
- Matthew Brown decommissioning the old hoist making way for the new installation next week.
- Year 11 Construction boys cutting cladding to suit the gable end.
Personal Projects – Year 12’s and Trades Extra Students
Students are often required to make personal projects in both Metals and Furnishings.
- The selection of student projects is negotiated with the trainers and key considerations are the estimated cost, the student’s ability, time available and meeting the needs of the course,
- A letter is then sent home informing the parents of the project, the cost and requesting approval.
- For the larger projects it is College Policy that a 50% deposit is paid before the commencement of the project, and that the project is paid for in full before it is taken from the College.
- Almost all materials are on site and can be purchased through the College.
The Trades staff invite you to attend next weeks parent interviews to discuss your child’s progress. Look forward to seeing you there.
