Hi there,

 

I’m in a bit of a pickle. I teach in a small country secondary school (P-12 actually). We have great facilities, including 5 welding bays and a courtyard area for grinding, etc. This was set up in response to student demand over the last decade. However, we had an OH&S audit and were informed that supervision of the 2 areas is inadequate, limiting my ability to deliver welding projects. I relied on welding projects as this is a sufficiently flexible means of working with metal (and student interest) to allow for creative design work and the development of design briefs.

 

At times I have secured the aid of a community volunteer to assist with supervision, but this cannot be relied upon. 

 

Currently I am required to adjust unit documentation for year 10 metal work and am somewhat at a loss for design orientated projects not using welding in its production. The other resource I have available is sheet metal; a magna folder, guillotine and rollers.  Would you be able to put me in touch with someone who works extensively with sheet metal? 

 

Kind regards,

 

Frank Burgers
