There were 8 students and 1 staff member who attended the Hutchinson’s Building construction site on Tuesday 24th August. The students found the site visit to be valuable as it provided them an opportunity to see tradies in action and some of the tasks they perform on a construction site. Students asked questions to gain further understanding of the construction taking place. The students found the safety talk at the end a little long, but a necessity. A number of the students are interested in pursuing a career in the construction industry. All in all, it is a well worthwhile excursion that is suited for a 1 hour maximum timeslot.
