Try-A-Trade

 

Try-A-Trade gives students hands-on experience across a range of different trades, and each course is delivered by professional lecturers who guide students through practical activities and teach key trade skills. The program, delivered over three days to selected Year 10 students, is sponsored by the Construction Training Fund.

 

The Try-A-Trade program at MLSHS is being delivered by Trade Academy and focuses on carpentry.

Students, under the guidance of David, a qualified tradesman, have been building a 'mini house", complete with a window, doorway and rafters.

 

Dressed in work appropriate clothing, including steel capped boots, students have worked in two teams to complete their project.

 

All of the students have been highly engaged and have developed employability skills including communication, working as part of a team, problem solving and using their initiative.

 

A second program will be delivered next week.

 

We would like to thank the Construction Training Fund and Trade Academy for providing such an amazing opportunity for our students.
