The Year 9 and 10 students are enjoying their new work skills programs that will be happening every Thursday. The Year 10s started their first day at TAFE, enrolled in a Trade Tasters Course. They were every excited to learn how to remove, attach tyres using a rattle gun or the old-fashioned way with a lug wrench. Students also gained skills in removing and reattaching hub caps. It was very interesting exploring underneath a car that was hoisted up into the air. We made friends with 3 other students from Cooloola Christian College who were completing the same course with us. The students looked very smart in their tradie work clothes and they were a credit to themselves, representing Gympie Special School in the best of ways.

The Year 9 students have started a new cooking program where they will learn how to run their own baked goods delivery service. They will learn how to bake, make menus, make online food orders, present their food to customers and much more. Last Thursday the Year 9 students learnt how to write a resume and make their first Woolworths order online using the new touchscreen TV. The students are looking forward to baking a chocolate cake for their next work skills lesson.
