Many senior TAS subjects offer students a chance to explore their creativity and practical skills. In Design and Technology Year 11 students had an introductory unit designing a chessboard. They have started on an upcycling project using recycled materials. Creating  a lamp from a worn motorcycle sprocket as a base is one example of repurposing materials creatively. 

Year 11 Industrial Technology are designing and  making a wall cabinet to suit their needs. They built their hand skills in Term 1 by creating a puzzle, where marking out, paring using a chisel and cutting required great precision. Yr 12 Industrial Technology class are well into their Major works submitting them in early Term 3. There is always a wide range of projects from a display cabinet, writing desk, coffee table and jewellery box to name a few. 

It is always great to see the journey students have made from Junior years to a final major project which can be cherished for many years to come.

Agriculture is again a strong subject in TAS. Given our recent infrastructural upgrades at the farm it is no wonder many students are choosing to spend their lunchtimes caring for animals, growing produce and tending to daily chores. In Year 11 and 12 a focus is on animal production, farm management and marketing and the science involved in both flora and fauna. All our Stage 6 courses run in the TAS Faculty offer a diverse range of pathways for future growth in post school education at University, vocational training or trade careers.
