Course Description

Teacher in Charge: Mr J. Sopers.

Recommended Prior Learning

This course has no prerequisites; open entry for all.  However, to be successful in this course, students will need to have a sound grasp of Year 9 Technology. Year 10 Hard Materials would be beneficial, as well as having good work habits.


This course is designed as an introduction to the senior workshop giving students a wide range of practical skills and knowledge in the hard materials workshop.

During this course, the students will be working on a number of practical projects and will be introduced to a large variety of hand tools and portable power tools.

Students will also be working through a number of Unit Standard booklets, to be completed electronically, which will involve both practical and theoretical work.

There is a huge emphasis on safety and the students will not be starting in the workshop until they have completed the Safe Work Practices standard, U.S. 24352.

Costs

The Board of Trustees has again asked to opt into the Ministry of Education donation scheme. Doing so resulted in the ability to waive student fee donations. Kaiapoi High School aims to deliver quality educational courses over and above those that which is funded by the Ministry. It is likely the School will opt into the donation scheme for 2024, however parental contribution for the costs of trips and activities where participation is optional, and/or components not covered by the Government grant, may be requested. We appreciate the financial support our families make to the School.
