Woodwork

Before students can embark on any major projects such as housing, workshop activities designed to instill Health and Safety must be addressed from the outset.

Once students have been registered and signed off for various safety tasks and the correct methods of handling power, portable and hand tools they then commence in applying these new skills to small workshop projects.
How to interpret plans, plan a project and apply this knowledge to to a project or task also begins with these first projects. This period is also a time for new students to bond with class mates and team mates within their respective construction teams, lecturers use this workshop time to assess the students capabilities and to address any issues before work can commence on a house project.
