FOCUS ON……TAS
TAS classes across the board have made an impressive start to
the school year. It is very important that all students maintain
their efforts, each of you to the best of your personal ability. If
you slip behind don‟t give up: your efforts to catch up or to lift
your performance will give you and your teacher a lot of satis-
faction.
Within the TAS faculty, students are given the opportunity to
study a wide range of subjects. We are fortunate to have a very
dynamic, experienced and professional staff who are constantly
improving and implementing current and new curriculum objec-
tives.
TAS Student uniform and footwear
We all need to play a part in ensuring student safety at school. A
TAS priority is to follow and maintain good safety practices
within the faculty. All students who have elected a TAS subject
with the exception of computing subjects must wear appropriate
footwear for practical activities.
Footwear such as open weave cloth type shoes, shoes with open-
ings at toes or heels,
platforms or high-heel shoes cannot be worn in a workshop,
kitchen or agricultural area. They present a potentially
hazardous situation. It‟s
important that parents or guardians ensure that these require-
ments are met. Students who do not wear the appropriate foot-
wear will be excluded from practical activities.
Appropriate Footwear: Fully enclosed black or white shoes
with a leather or heavy vinyl upper material.
Vocational Education
Students studying a vocational education subject in TAS are
currently completing their final work placement, completing a
minimum of 70 hours experience in the workplace. We offer a
diverse range of vocational subjects which include Metals and
Engineering, Construction, Information Technology, Primary
Industries and Hospitality. Feedback received by many host
employers has been fantastic, commenting on the level of skill
our students have already attained, also the manner in which our
students conducted themselves in the workplace. Many students
who enter into a vocational education course are offered
employment opportunities throughout the time they are
completing their mandatory work placement.
Thanks and well done from the School and its Community to
students studying Construction pictured above.
Recently Construction students and their teachers Mr Brian
Walsh and Mr Joseph Hardy undertook quite a large project
creating a new classroom. A range of competencies including
wall framing and carpentry skills were assessed throughout the
project.

Industrial Technology – Timber and Furniture
Industries and Multi-Media
The Faculty and particularly their teachers, Mr George
Shoemark and Mr Laurence Capper are extremely proud
of a group of dedicated students who are currently
studying the year 12 Industrial Technology courses. This
is the first year 12 cohort completing the new category A
HSC elective.
Students present to Board of Studies markers a major pro-
ject which showcases their skills and the knowledge
gained throughout their time at BHC. The major project
is a significant proportion of
their final HSC mark.
Agriculture
It has been an exceptional
growing season at the
school‟s Ag farm this year,
with a wide variety of vegeta-
bles sown. As the colder
months approach the students have been busy harvesting
