Students from the Certificate II in Building and Construction have recently completed two cubby houses for the Primary School area. Students have developed skills in hand and power tool use and have continued on from the work started by students last year. It has been a hands-on project where Year 10-12 students enhance their existing skills and use these in a real life project where they can see the benefits of their labour.

Primary School students were very grateful to have these new additions in the area with an official opening and ribbon cutting ceremony performed by the Cert II students this week. Thank you cards were also presented to the staff involved in the project, Mr Solomano and Mr McInerney.

Mr Solomano, VET Trainer said “ It was a great project where students could develop their skills and see the results of their work being appreciated by others.” He went on to say “several students from last year have since found work in trade areas and we have used this project to enhance work opportunities for Ballarat Christian College students, as they enter the work force.”
