TAS Major Work Show Case

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.
