Another group of our Year 10 students had the opportunity to attend Motivation Foundation’s Civil Construction Try-a-Trade, involving three days of practical work in a simulated work environment operating CAT machines and completing a concreting activity.
Students completed 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.
We’re thrilled with the level of student interest in try-a-trade courses, however it does exceed available places, so selections are made from known student interest and pathway readiness.
