Wood
In this course, students will be given a brief, a scenario and or theme. This will give them the opportunity to design and manufacture a project that interests them or fits the needs and opportunities of a potential client. They will also get the opportunity to explore the many and varied materials that are on offer in today’s society and our Taupō community. These could be native and or exotic timbers and or wood based products, the many and varied metals used nowadays, selecting suitable plastic's, leather, bone or other available materials.
The course will provide opportunities for students to develop and improve many skills like their practical abilities, creative design, negotiation, research, testing & trialing techniques and other areas required for success in today’s technological society.
This course can lead the students on to pathways in an number of the trade based or design industries on offer, or into leading edge experimental industrial environments that have always been a part of Aotearoa's number eight wire mentality.
This subject can also assist the student on to their chosen pathway into Tertiary institutions like: polytechnic & university or apprenticeship system.
It is worth knowing that the student may be withdrawn from a standard if the teacher is not confident that the achievement of the standard is within the reach of the student or there is no evidence of the student attempting the assessment.
