The Year 10 Industrial Technology Timber class has been buzzing with energy this term as students take on one of their most rewarding projects yet; building a handcrafted bedside table with a hinged lid. The workshop has become a hive of activity, filled with the sound of saws, planes gliding across timber and students comparing progress as their projects begin to take shape. What begins as a simple stack of Radiata Pine gradually transforms into a functional piece of furniture that students can proudly take home.
While the finished bedside table is something students are proud to display at home, the true value of the project lies in the skills and confidence they build along the way. The Year 10 Timber project is more than just a piece of furniture, it’s a reminder of what young people can achieve when they’re given the tools, the guidance and the opportunity to create.
