Our first group of Thomas Hassall Construction students have worked through various projects and competencies in the areas of: surveying, framing, tiling, gyprocking, brick laying, concreting, communications, WH&S and obtaining a white card.
The course started off in a small shed at one end of the maintenance area and moved mid-year into a larger facility with a designated theory room, state of the art equipment and air filtration, circulation and air-conditioning. It is encouraging to see many students taking the subject. The course continues at the beginning of 2021 with four classes comprising of nearly 60 students in total. The course is at an AQF Certificate II level.
It is good to see some girls also choosing to study Construction. Students were surveyed as to why they chose the course and the answers ranged from: wishing to pursue a career in the areas of building and construction, project management, architecture, interior design, construction engineering and surveying.
We wish our first Construction graduates the very best in their future endeavours. All students completing this course will gain some valuable lifelong skills and knowledge.
