Level 1 Building and Construction

Subject Description

Teacher in Charge: Mr S. Leary.

Level 1 Building and Construction is a subject for students who are interested in the skills and knowledge associated with a career in the construction trades. The course contains two construction projects: an outdoor team-built structure and a workshop-based furniture project. At year 11, the workshop project is restricted by cost and size as the focus is on learning the skills and knowledge required to become competent workshop users. This project can be student designed or teacher prescribed. Topics covered include:

  • working drawing interpretation
  • safe hand tool and power tool use (carpentry and engineering)
  • material and hardware composition and selection
  • knowledge of trades and career pathways

Currently this course lists 29 credits. Not all standards will be covered as each year standards offered may change depending on student preference and ability.
