2025 Construction Trade Readiness Program

14 May 2025

2025 Construction Trade Readiness Program

Congratulations to a group of Year 10 students who had the fantastic opportunity to take part in a 3-day Construction Trade Readiness Program at Wollongong TAFE, thanks to the Regional Industry Education Partnerships (RIEP) initiative.

This hands-on program helped students explore future trade pathways and informed their HSC subject choices.

Over the three days, they gained practical experience in:
📐 Reading and interpreting construction plans

🔨 Using construction tools and equipment
🧱 Working with building materials
📏 Performing measurements and calculations
⚠️ Following Work Health and Safety guidelines

Our students did an outstanding job building sturdy frames and represented WHSPA with pride. Well done! 👏

We are very grateful to have Matt Asgill, Head Teacher Carpentry and Joinery deliver the course and thankful for the support of our students to Neil Bessant from RIEP.

Wollongong High School of the Performing Arts acknowledge the Wadi Wadi people of the Dharawal Nation, who are the Traditional Owners of the land on which we meet. We acknowledge the Elders, past, present and future, of this land as well as Elders of the wider Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities. These Elders hold the traditions, the dreams, the hopes and the culture that has been kept alive for thousands of years. Our school lies between the sacred site of Mt Geera and the five islands which are significant figures in Dharawal dreaming stories. These stories pass on the traditions, practices and customs that have sustained the oldest living culture in the world to this day. In between the mountains and the sea we meet together in harmony and stand firm in the reminder that this land is, was, and always will be traditional Aboriginal land.
