TAS Student of the Month
Congratulations to our latest winner of the TAS (Technological and Applied Studies) student of the month competition. Sam consistently demonstrates a positive attitude and strong initiative in all areas of Food Technology, and is always willing to offer help and support to both classmates and staff. Well done to Samuel.
A reminder below of the following assessment practical tasks that are occurring for Stage 5 Food Technology between weeks 6 and 9. Students will be required to supply ingredients for the associated tasks and submit accompanying theory work. Should any student have trouble acquiring their own ingredients, they are encouraged to speak to their class teacher for assistance prior to the assessment date.
Stage 5 Technology Subject HappeningsStage 5 Technology students have been busy engaging in a range of exciting, project-based learning experiences across their subjects. Industrial Technology students are developing practical skills, with Metalwork classes creating camping tables and Timber classes constructing bedside tables.
In Design and Technology, Year 10 students are undertaking an Interior Design project, while Year 9 students are showcasing their creativity by designing and making their own hoodies. Multimedia students are also putting their imagination to work, developing original stories to produce short stop-motion animated films and designing 3D games using the industry-standard program Unity.
One of the highlights of the year is fast approaching – the Year 10 Food Technology novelty cake assessment. This much-anticipated task always impresses us, as students demonstrate outstanding creativity and skill through their imaginative cake designs and decoration.
