Two benches are now restored and two more are almost finished! It takes a long time to fully complete each bench, so please be patient if you use this room. Also, please use them as they are intended to be used. No one expects them to remain perfect and general wear and tear will occur, however, deliberate attempts to damage these benches ultimately result in poor quality jobs and hurt us all in the long run.
With the thanks of our recently purchased Roland Vinyl Cutter, no longer will students get lost looking for Technology rooms J4, J5, J6 and J7 as they are now correctly and clearly marked (colour coded also BTW). Please let someone in the Technology Faculty know if there are any other incorrectly or unidentified areas of the school, we’re here to help.
Last year some visitors were in the school during one of our emergency procedure drills (a lockdown). Unfortunately our signage was a little difficult for someone new to quickly understand (you know, in an emergency). Well J7 is the first room to get one of the new emergency procedure signs which have been fully produced by the Technology Faculty using skills, software and techniques covered in many of our subjects, especially in our Graphics courses. Anyone with an interested in layout, design or a thinking of a future in a creative industry should seriously consider choosing Graphics Technology. Oh, and imagine how schmick your next assignment or folio could be with a little extra insider knowledge.
Every student who does Industrial Arts understands the importance of working from a cutting list. J7 now has a dedicated cutting list which will hang on the wall. Keep an eye on it, work on your accuracy, it will make a difference in the quality of your finished projects. Remember what all good tradies know …
Measure twice, cut once
