Hard Materials: A great stint in the Hard Materials workshop has been had by all over the last few weeks.All students have worked through designing and constructing a storage project to suit a range of purposes, (mostly to hide money in from brothers/sisters!). Some really tidy work has been achieved and all are moving into Device stands and bookend projects which are progressing along nicely.All students are learning how our native timbers in Aoteroa can be resourced and recycled to bring some of these projects to life.
