The
Trade Skills Centre opened in January 2017 offering students the opportunity to
study in an industry standard furniture making workshop. While studying MSF20520
- Certificate II in Furniture Making Pathways, senior students make a range of
solid timber furniture using a broad range of machinery, power and hand tools. You can view examples of student timber work here.
Landscaping & Construction Package
This is a 2 line subject AHC21621 and FSK20119 where students study their numeracy on-the-job instead of a conventional math class. This allows students to concentrate solely on math that will equip them for industry. Students who successfully complete the course will receive the following qualifications.
- Construction white card
- Certificate II in Landscaping (construction)
- Certificate II in Rural Operations
- Certificate II in Skills for Work & Vocational Pathways
Certificate II in Landscape Construction provides the base skills that can lead to employment in construction, landscaping, parks and gardens or as a professional landscaper.

They learn identify all engine and driveline components in a vehicle as well as use machinery and tools specific to this trade. Students also demonstrate diagnostic and fault finding techniques using the latest OBD II Scan tool.
Engineering Pathways
During this two year course students will learn how to read engineering drawings, cut steel and aluminium accurately as per drawings, then weld parts together using MIG and TIG techniques to produce a car chassis. Students also learn how engines, brakes and steering systems work as they assemble these components to the race car.
Process Manufacturing (Drones)
Certificate III in Process Manufacturing MSM30116 offers students skills needed to design and fabricate an operate drone. Over the 2 year course, students learn engineering skills in: sheet metal and metal turning; Computer Aided Design (CAD) using Inventor; Computer Aided Manufacturing (CAM) using VCarve; advanced manufacturing processes using CNC routing; designing, prototyping and manufacturing, evaluating.
Students can apply for a traineeship/apprenticeship in Year 10 or 11.
