Course Description:
The Stage 6 Industrial Technology (Timber Products and Furniture Technologies) course is intended to help students develop a knowledge and understanding of the Timber Industry and its impact on society and the environment. This involves the investigation of management strategies, production processes and technologies adopted by companies in the industry, as well as the designing, development and production of practical projects in the Preliminary and HSC courses. These practical projects also require students to communicate the development of their project through the documentation of a detailed portfolio.
Safe and skilful use of tools, machines, equipment and processes are taught with the intention that students will be able to produce projects of industry quality.
