SHAPE Excursion

Term 2 started off with an exciting excursion for Year 11 Technology classes. Last Friday, Year 11 Design & Technology, Industrial Technology Multimedia and Industrial Technology Timber classes went on an excursion to view the SHAPE Exhibition at Walsh Bay. This experience provided students an opportunity to view major design projects from 2023 that have exceeded in their subject areas.  

On the day, students were provided with booklets to fill out relating to the projects on display. This provided a hands-on learning experience as students were able to analyse the projects, and gain access to portfolios. For many students, the excursion served as a source of inspiration, igniting their own creative endeavours and fueling their passion in the subject. This excursion unveiled the expectations of Year 12 Major Design Project to the students, and filled their minds with possibilities for Year 12 through discussions with their peers, teachers, external students, and the hosts of the exhibition. Intellectual discussions were led by the teachers, and students' learning was evidenced in their questions. 

Overall, it was an engaging excursion, benefiting the students through a hands-on experience, and As we reflect on this enriching experience, we extend our gratitude to the teachers and organisers who made this excursion possible. These experiences foster intellectual curiosity, enriching the educational journey of our Senior students.
