Work Experience: Crafting Careers with Care
At Adelaide Architectural Joinery, nothing is off-the-shelf — not the work, and not the training. That’s exactly why Year 10 student Will jumped at the opportunity to complete work experience at the boutique cabinetmaking and joinery workshop, where projects are built from scratch, and every detail matters.
Work Experience: Building Futures from the Ground Up
For students like Harry and Lachie, stepping into a workplace like Gants & Sons isn’t just a taste of the trades; it’s the start of something much bigger. The pair are among a growing number of St Patrick’s Technical College students completing repeat work experience placements at the busy fabrication site, returning again and again to build skills, confidence, and connections.
Year 10 STEM Students Take Learning Beyond the Classroom at NAWMA
Our Year 10 STEM students explored the journey of sustainability, taking their classroom learning into the real world. As part of their STEM unit on sustainability and waste, students began by dismantling old technology, uncovering how everyday devices work and learning just how easily some items can be repaired rather than discarded.
