Selected students from Year 10 and 11 were privileged to attend the Motivation Foundation Civil and Mining Academy training centre in West Swan for a Try-A-Trade experience this term.
Students were involved in completing startup safety checks for Civil Construction machinery, which then allowed them to drive and operate them in a controlled environment. Students also learnt the art of “boxing up” concrete form work, pouring and finishing a section of concrete path.
The Motivation Foundation training centre is an RTO that provides industry relevant training and qualifications for Year 11 and 12 students. To find out more visit motivationfoundation.com.au
Students interested in taking part in future Try-A-Trade opportunities are encouraged to speak to their Year Coordinators or senior school team to express their interest. Student interest does exceed available places in the Try-A-Trade Career Tasters, so selections are made from known student interest and pathway readiness.
