Year 9 At The Construction Training Fund Centre
Last week was a busy one in the Year 9 Building, students that were not on camp were taken to the Construction Training Fund Centre – a government initiative that is 100% industry funded to support the future of construction. Students had the fantastic opportunity to look at a range of careers in the Building and Construction Industry. They were able to operate various machinery using VR, design and build their own home through AR, develop an understanding of how our homes and infrastructure is built, have a deeper look at the three types of construction industries (residential, civil and commercial) and even how many trades it takes before you can switch your light bulb on (fyi ten!!).
The students had an intense few hours to explore the two levels with a range of careers in plumbing, electrical and brick laying, to being an Environmental Designer, Drafter and Estimator.
Thank you to Catherine Smith and Renae Hill for making this opportunity for the students happen.
Thank you also to Kris Bench, Jo Walton, Barbara Farr, Julia Colasante, Rebecca Bruce, Miro and Prathana T.
