Exciting Activities in Food Technology, Agriculture, Timber and Technology Classes

Here are some highlights from the end of last term! The term was filled with creativity and hands-on learning across all courses in TAS. From delicious pizzas to innovative Co2 racing cars, students have been engaging in exciting projects that showcase their skills and teamwork.

Stage 4 Technology Students - Race CO2 Cars and Mousetrap Racers

In Stage 4 Technology, students had an exhilarating time racing their CO2 cars and mousetrap racers. This hands-on project allowed them to apply principles of physics and engineering while having fun competing against each other. The excitement was palpable as students cheered for their classmates and celebrated each successful race. Congratulations to Dusty Irving from T2 and Memphis Retallick in T3, for being the overall winners!

Stage 4 - Food Technology

Students were able to create tasty dumplings using new techniques learned during the term. The smell was divine with aromas of ginger and herbs, and the buzz in the kitchens was electric as the students worked collaboratively.

Stage 5 - Food Technology

In the Food Technology class, students had a fantastic time making pizzas with a variety of toppings. Each student was encouraged to explore their culinary creativity, resulting in a delightful array of flavours and presentations. Some students even took it a step further by creating presentations about their unique pizza creations, sharing insights into their topping choices and cooking techniques. The classroom was filled with the delicious aroma of freshly baked pizzas, making it a memorable experience for everyone involved.

Stage 5 - Agriculture

Our Agriculture students have been busy enhancing the school’s farm facilities by working on hanging more gates. This project not only improves accessibility but also teaches students valuable skills in farm management. Recently, they enjoyed the spoils of their hard work: fresh carrots that they grew themselves! The satisfaction of harvesting and tasting their produce added an extra layer of enjoyment to their hard work.

Stage 5 - Timber Continuing

The Timber class has been hard at work creating stunning grazing tables, which showcase their woodworking skills. Each table was embellished with unique laser-cut designs crafted by the students themselves. These tables not only serve as functional pieces but also highlight the creativity and craftsmanship of our Timber students.

Overall, the term was filled with learning, creativity and fun across all classes. It’s inspiring to see our students engage in such diverse activities while developing essential skills for their future endeavours. We look forward to more exciting projects to share with you during this final term!
