TAS Major Work Show Case Above, left to right Benedict Hugh; Conor Briggs; Ryan Sheridan On Friday 11 August, 13 Year 12 students proudly showcased their major works in Memorial Hall. The evening was a great chance and relaxed evening for students, friends and family to come together and celebrate the fantastic achievements and unique creations of the Industrial Technology major works. Here at Saint Ignatius’ College, we focus on two specific areas, being: ‘Timber Products and Furniture Technologies’ and ‘Multimedia Technologies’. These provide students with opportunities to exhibit their skills, creativity and knowledge in a very competitive, growing and ever-changing materialistic world. I must congratulate all students and teachers this year, as the projects on display were simply stunning, each with their own flavour and personality derived from their creator. The process each student goes through begins with the initial idea, sketching, research, through to the fine details and that final coat of oil or digital rendering. All of this, with the all-important HSC going on. All the timber works included traditional joinery techniques, classic timber choices and contrasts, with functionality at the helm. The highly-detailed multimedia projects included 3D holograms, out-of- the-ordinary filming and photography techniques and the latest in website design, all with special effects.

This is one of the highest honours given to technology and engineering education classroom teachers, and was presented in recognition of Ms Perdriau’s outstanding contributions to the profession and to her students. Winners of the Teacher Excellence Award are characterised as providing high quality, student centred technology and engineering education – all of which we believe are exemplified in Ms Perdriau’s commitment to her profession.
