A local college has taken the top gong in Queensland for its dedication and discipline in teaching construction.
Holy Spirit College was named State Champion for its Certificate I in Construction.
The Design and Technology Teachers Association (DATTA) Student Subject Award program has been established to recognise excellence and outstanding achievements in Design and Technologies subjects across Queensland.
Five Holy Spirit College students – Nash Byrne, Richard Vassallo, Quinn Vella, Dylan Eden and Baylen Waldon – were nominated by the College for their workmanship in constructing a cubby house as part of their studies to gain a Certificate I in Construction.
Mr Michael Pace, Dean of Design and Technologies at Holy Spirit College said, “Guided by their teachers, Mr Peter Mallet and Mr Chris Kidd, we are proud of our students’ dedication to their studies and are thrilled to be named State Champions for Certificate I in Construction.”
Holy Spirit College is a registered training organisation and offers many opportunities for vocational education and training with a range of Certificate I, II and III courses in: Aviation (Remote Pilot); Business; Christian Ministry and Theology; Construction; Early Childhood Education and Care; Engineering Pathways; Health Services Assistance; Hospitality; and Fitness.
Mrs Anne Miles, Assistant Principal – Curriculum at Holy Spirit College, said, “Students in Years 11 and 12 can choose to study a course designed to achieve university entrance, a vocational course leading to employment or a combination of both.
“VET Certificates contribute credits to the Queensland Certificate of Education (QCE) and students who successfully complete a Certificate III course may be eligible for university entrance at participating universities.”
Mrs Miles continues, “Our Vocational students continue to be successful in School Based Apprenticeships and Traineeships by being offered employment, apprenticeships and traineeships across a variety of fields and their recognition within our local community as desirable and highly skilled employees is admirable.”
