St John's College - Materials Technology . . .
Teachers - Mr Scott and Mr Hansen
Course Entry Requirements
Level 1 At the discretion of the HOD, should have taken at Year 10 level.
Level 2 Must have obtained 15 credits in Year 11 Materials Technology, or at the discretion of the H.O.D.
Level 3 At the discretion of the H.O.D. but should have taken Year 12 level or Materials Technology at Year 11.
Materials Technology is a Unit Standards course with units being chosen from industry related courses. Each year builds on the experiences gained from the previous year, so that students increase both their personal skills and acquire the ability to plan and take charge of projects. If Materials Technology was not taken as an option at year 10 then it would be extremely difficult to cope with the course at year 11.
The programme at Level 1 leads to the BCATS entry level certificate and at Level II the advanced. These certificates could assist in gaining entry to higher level courses or finding a job in a trade. We aim to equip the students with the skills to do well, perseverance, tenacity, concentration and skill. The projects attempted may change but all must be completed as per the specifications just like in the real world!
Later in the year there may be time for personal projects but even then there is an expectation that a plan and or specification is adhered to.
Each year’s course has a fee for consumables used and costs for project materials. This information on approximate costs is available on request.
