This year we welcome two new staff members to the TAS Faculty, Joel Pollard as a TAS Teacher and Lorna Brown as TAS Assistant. They’ve both made a great start and are already having a great impact working with students and other members of the faculty.

Its been great to see our full complement of teaching staff and classes make a really positive start to the term and are already off and running! We’re also excited to have our Year 12 courses working towards their HSC!

This semester we have the following courses:

• Year 7 Digital Technology or Food Technology
• Year 8 Materials Technology (Textiles) or Engineered Systems (Timber)
• Year 9 Timber
• Year 9 Engineering
• Year 10 Food Technology
• Year 10 Industrial Technology Timber
• Year 11 Design & Technology
• Year 11 Engineering Studies
• Year 11 Industrial Technology Timber
• Year 12 Design & Technology
• Year 12 Engineering Studies
• Year 12 Industrial Technology Multimedia
• Year 12 Industrial Technology Timber

Most students in Technology have been undertaking Onguard Safety Training (online training and testing software) so far this term and should have completed most of their tests already. Please encourage students to complete this as homework if they have not yet done so as they don’t want to miss out on any practical activities!

A reminder to parents that students in workshops and kitchens must wear fully enclosed leather shoes. If a student has sport on the same day as Technology, they are expected to bring leather shoes as well as sports shoes (leather trainers are acceptable)
