Level 2 Building and Construction

In Year 12 Building and Construction, students further their knowledge and techniques using a wide variety of trade skills, processes, and materials. The curriculum is structured around three key projects: a specified workshop-based furniture project, a student-designed project, and a final skills-based project. At this level, students are expected to show a degree of independence when using fundamental hand and power tools. The course follows a logical progression, starting with a prescribed project that introduces applied design thinking and concluding in a comprehensive skills based project.

 Topics covered include:

• Design thinking 
• Reading and interpreting plans
• Researching the Construction process 
• Power tool and machinery use (carpentry and engineering)
• Safe work practice
• Knowledge of trades and career pathways

Currently this course contains 21 credits. Not all standards will be covered as each year standards offered may change depending on student preference and ability.
