Aquinas College
Year 10 Industry Skills
Although next year timetables are yet to be finalised, course selection is now finished. Any changes to student courses will now take place in January.
Course Description
Teacher in Charge: Mr P. Nicholson.
This full year course builds on from our Year 9 Hard Materials course and has been designed as a hands-on practical workshop based course.
The intention of this class is to continue to develop the skills learnt in Year 9 Hard Materials, through manufacturing products to a high standard.
The intention is to combine costing, marketing and manufacture to produce a class set of Briarcliffe Lawn chairs, as well as an additional set that can be sold to the wider community to finance each students' own chair, and potentially turn a profit.
Please note: Unlike our other Year 10 Hard Materials class, Year 10 Industry Skills will be limited as far as individual design and brief development is concerned.
If you love hands-on practical workshop classes, then this is the subject for you!
Numbers limited to 24
Painted examples of the Briarcliffe lawn chairs we will be making. These are often referred to a Cape cod chairs but our design is far superior with a concave back.
These will be made from solid Macrocarpa with a natural boiled linseed oil finish to highlight the grain.
Recommended Prior Learning
It is recommended that you have taken Year 9 Hard Materials with Mr Nicholson, but not compulsory.
Contributions and Equipment/Stationery
Each chair that is produced has a material value of $60. Therefore the base cost of the course is set at $60
Providing that an additional chair can be produced and marketed by each student within a class production line, we can offset this cost.
| Description | Type | Value |
|---|---|---|
| Base line material cost for take home component. | Non-Voluntary | $60.00 |
