We can’t believe its nearly the end of Term two! The volume and quality of work students are producing is testament not just to the time of year but the motivation, willingness and enthusiasm of students and staff to achieve great things.

Well, done to the Grades 11 and 12 Certificate II in Construction students along with staff who have completed a very impressive cubby house and ‘mud kitchen’ for Dalveen State School. They look sensational! Everyone put in a stellar effort to get a great result!

In addition, Grade 11 and 12 Construction students are finishing up building their dog kennels and chook pens (respectively).  Again, they look amazing and will be for sale shortly. Be sure to keep and eye out if you’re in the market.

Grade 9 and 10 Manufacturing has proved to be a very popular elective this year.  Students are focusing on metal and timber manufacturing skills and are developing an understanding of the property constraints of these products.

Grade 10 Industrial Design students are thoroughly enjoying using the 3D printers, to create a range of, jewellery, small toys and prototype ideas. They are also finishing up manufacture of C02 dragsters which will be raced at the end of term. These dragsters will average 1.06 seconds over 20 meters!

Grade 12 Engineering students have finished the fabrication of fire pits, they have done an excellent job. These collapsible fire pits are for sale!

If you are interested in purchasing a fabulous chook house, please call the front office.

Finally, the Grade 10 Certificate II in Automotive Vocational Preparation students have nearly completed their qualification.  Some of the course expectations include disassembling engines, servicing tractors and motorbikes and wiring up trailer lights and other electrical systems. This course is a fantastic starting point for students interested in mechanics either as a hobby or career. 

Well done students, keep up the great work!
