welcomed the challenges of learning intricate new skills and have demonstrated great resilience in overcoming the challenges that arose along the way. Great work boys, I look forward to putting the finishing touches on these projects in coming weeks. Stage 5 - IT Metal Senior students in our Manufacturing and Engineering course have hit the ground running this year by working on their major projects. A variety of different projects have been undertaken including industrial work benches, tool cabinets and some students have even taken a creative path by fabricating a replica of Thor’s hammer. With the cold weather settling in, Year 10 students have been working on camp stools and fire pits to settle into a perfect campfire scenario. Year 9 students have been introduced to the senior Engineering workshop for the first time and are working on a toolbox. Milling machines, sheet metal guillotines, oxy/acetylene sets and welding machines are just a few of the processes Year 9 have been learning to use and their welding practise is paying dividends. Stage 5 – Graphics Technology The study of Graphics Technology develops in students an understanding of the significance of graphical communication and the techniques and technologies used to convey technical and non-technical ideas and information. They learn about the application of these techniques and technologies in industrial, commercial and domestic contexts. Stage 4 - Year 7 and 8 Technology Mandatory Technology Mandatory engages students in design and production activities as they develop solutions to identified needs and opportunities. In Year 7 students spend a semester studying Digital Technology and Food and Agriculture. In Year 8 students cover Materials Technology and Engineered Systems. The TAS faculty have been extremely impressed with how well Year 7 and 8 were able to transition back into Home-Base Learning, in what has been a very challenging year. Well done!
