Congratulations to the Technology Faculty for winning the 2024 White Cliffs Timber prize for ‘Excellence in Workshop/Design Technology’. The award commends Albany Junior High School for the opportunities offered to students in Hard Materials Technology.
In the Hard Materials Workshop students follow a design process and create quality products. They solve problems and are provided with significant scope for design, creativity, innovation and practical construction skills. Through a blend of sketching, brief writing, and hands-on crafting, students conceptualise and develop their design, paying special attention to functionality and aesthetics. Utilising various finishing techniques, students personalise their creations, adding visual appeal.
Special thanks to White Cliffs Timber Ltd for the prize of a Stanley hammer. This will be awarded at the end of year prizegiving to a student who demonstrates excellence in Hard Materials Technology.
