Can you believe it is Week 4 already? This year in TAS, students have been working on many different projects across the varied course. It has given them creative avenues to escape to in the midst of all this uncertainty and wow, there has been some amazing projects produced!

Timber Technology

Mr Szkwarek and Mr Nicolletti’s 9-10 timber classes have been working on timber serving boards and have recently had the opportunity to use the new laser cutter to embellish their projects with a small and unique etched design of their choice. See the beautiful results for yourself!

Agriculture

We have welcomed two new members to the school community this term. Meet Harley and Rose, our miniature pigs who love spending time with the students while they are participating in practical lessons at the farm. The students have been working hard rewiring the chicken hutch, planting, transplanting, harvesting and completing maintenance operations around the farm. The students are looking forward to incubating a batch of eggs in the coming weeks that will eventually become our farm chickens.

Industrial Technology

Year 11 Industrial Technology students are currently working on a modern bedside table using a variety of joints, tools, machinery and techniques to prepare them for their HSC year where they will be required to design and construct their own piece of furniture. With the deadline looming, the Year 12 students are working feverishly on their Major Projects which we will share with you once complete.

Design and Technology

‘Light it Up’ is the unit that the Year 9-10 DT students have been working on and their designs are outstanding. Students have been working with either LED or incandescent lighting options with no limit to the allied materials they choose to use to create the stand. I would like to congratulate this class on their perseverance and consistent application to their work. Some other exciting news is the Year 12 students are nearing the end of their course and Major Projects which we will share with you soon.

IStem

Students in IStem have been producing personal interest projects that they have chosen themselves. They are following the Engineering Design process, investigating, researching, testing, producing and once complete will evaluate their work.
