The TAS Department at Glendale has been very busy lately!
Our students have been getting creative, developing practical skills and bringing some fantastic projects to life across TAS.
Year 9 Child Studies students have been exploring the importance of creative play in early childhood through a fun, hands on mask, making activity. Students considered how creative experiences can support children’s imagination, self expression and development.
Year 8 Food Technology classes recently cooked up some delicious Kunzea Loaded Wedges, incorporating native Indigenous Australian bush ingredient Kunzea. Kunzea is an aromatic native plant with a distinctive herbal flavour, making it a great way for students to explore Australian ingredients and flavours. Yum!
Year 9 and Year 10 Industrial Technology and Design & Technology students have been busy designing and constructing their very own working pinball machines! With the mechanisms taking shape, students will now develop their own themes and add the finishing decorative touches to make each machine unique.
And our Year 7 Technology Mandatory students have been putting their workshop skills to the test by making timber stools from scratch. From measuring and marking to cutting, assembling and finishing, students are getting some great hands on experience.
It’s fantastic to see so much creativity, problem solving and practical learning happening in our TAS classrooms and workshops.

Our Senior Thrive students had the fantastic opportunity to visit Aruma’s Manufacturing Facility in Warabrook as part of our ongoing work connecting with providers and exploring post-school pathways for students with a disability.
The facility produces quality fabrication, engineering and customised metal products, giving our students the opportunity to see first-hand the range of products manufactured by the team and learn more about the skills and roles involved.
A huge thank you to the wonderful Aruma staff for welcoming us, providing an informative tour and sharing the range of employment opportunities and supports available to our students. It was a valuable and inspiring experience that helped our students see the possibilities for their future beyond school!

Today, our 7G Avid Strategies class celebrated the unique strengths within our classroom. Each student took the time to recognise the positive personality traits of their classmates, highlighting what makes every individual special. They then transformed these affirmations into a personalised canvas, showcasing their best qualities. It was a powerful reminder that our differences are our strengths, and that by uplifting one another, we build confidence, connection, and a culture where everyone feels valued.

As part of our Bringing The Beats we were lucky to have the Vincent and Hugo Acoustic Duo perform a set on the CAPA Balcony today.
Every fortnight to end the week we are showcasing a different Music genre with performances such as DJ sets and acoustic performances.
The playground was definitely rocking today.
