Stage 5 Courses in TAS (Year 9 and Year 10)
In 2022 we have 100hr courses and 200hr courses. Our courses include:-
* Food Technology
* Industrial Technology - metals, timber, construction and multimedia
* Information and Software Technology
100hr courses are studied for one year. 200hr courses are studied for 2 years.
All stage 5 courses involve a significant amount of practical work. Students are involved in a range of practical activities and experiences that are developed to enhance knowledge and understanding of the theoretical aspects of the courses.
Students need to have the correct personal protective equipment (PPE) to fully participate in stage 5 courses:-closed-in black leather shoes and aprons. In some subjects in the faculty, eye protection is required to be worn. The faculty has these available for student use.
The faulty uses ONguard. This program is managed by each teacher. Students complete modules to evidence competency in the use of materials, tools, and equipment within each of the courses. The program involves reading information and then completing a competency test. Whilst we target specialist stage 5 courses it is a program we can use across all stages.
