2 Building and Construction
Course Description
Teacher in Charge: Mr F. Rzoska.
This course is a BCITO course and conforms to BCATS skills designed for students who are looking for an introduction into the world of building. It is a very hands-on course focusing on teaching students how to use a range of hand and power tools in a safe manner.
The course projects are all teacher directed with clear instructions and goals. There will be lots of safety tips on correct usage. The students will start with the Bench Seat in Term 1 and then in Term 2 build a Picnic table. This will be done in teams so will also promote communication and collaboration.
In the Term 3 students will be building a folding table which will also allow for some personalisation and design work. This will be something that the students will be able to take home.
