Equity Garden
16 November 2005
The Atlas and Employment Skills classes at Taree campus have completed a joint garden project between C & D block. Mosaic stepping stones, a bird bath and wall mosaics have been placed within a renewed and invigorated garden planting.
Skills such as working as part of a team, adhering to safety standards, following instructions, using tools and equipment, planting and landscaping were developed. The students also used digital photography and other software applications to reinforce learning. As a team the classes worked together to create the mosaics, photograph the process and develop work sheets outlining the process step by step.
The project culminated in a opening day where parents viewed the completed garden.
Biripi Women Create for The Thread Project
16 November 2005
Biripi Women from Taree Campus recently created braided threads and beads as an Australian Indigenous contribution to the International Thread Project. This ambitious project, initiated in the USA, is gathering as many different 'story' threads from around the world to weave into large panels. The project commissioned handweavers to weave forty nine large 2.5 metre panels in seven different colours - to represent the seven continents of the world. The completed panels will be hung in the United Nations.
Students Christine Clark and Wilma Morcome currently enrolled in an Employment Skills course contributed to the Lienzo Luminoso - Cloth of Light woven in Taree. Only 4 panels were woven in Australia and this was the only Australian Indigenous contribution. Christine and Wilma are photographed with Tafe Assistant Lynette Morcombe.
