Our Construction and Trade Program has been designed for students who want to develop the practical skills and knowledge needed to obtain an apprenticeship in the Building and Trade industry.

Partnering side by side with SEDA to deliver this program is Midland Brick. Midland Brick provides our students with real-life learning opportunities and experiences within the industry, as well as potential work placements. The experiences are varied in a huge range of trades, allowing students to better understand and choose which trades they are most interested in. 

Students gain skills, knowledge and networks within the Construction and Trade industry that will assist them in finding employment in the areas of the industry they wish to go into.

Areas of Study

One day per week, students engage with Skill Hire in Forrestfield to complete theory and practical-based VET training as they work towards their Certificate II in Construction Pathways. This nationally recognised qualification equips students with foundational trade skills and industry knowledge for future employment or apprenticeships.
In this Materials Design and Technology – Wood Area of Study, students complete a range of design and production tasks while engaging with a ‘client’ to understand real-world needs and opportunities. They apply the design process to develop practical solutions, strengthening their creativity, problem-solving, and project management skills.
In this Area of Study, students explore the diverse career pathways within the construction and trade industries, with a focus on communication, teamwork, and creativity. They apply their learning by developing a “SEDA Trade” concept and creating a children’s picture book that promotes safety, collaboration, and positive workplace culture.
This Area of Study culminates in Community Work-Day opportunities where students design and construct sustainable structures for community members in need. Through project planning, quoting, estimating, and hands-on building tasks, students apply their skills in meaningful, real-world contexts.
In this Building and Construction Area of Study, students develop practical skills in safety, material selection, tool operation, and design processes. By the end of Year 11, students have strengthened their drafting, production management, and workshop safety skills through hands-on, real-world applications.
In this Area of Study, students gain the essential knowledge and practical skills required to respond confidently to first aid incidents within construction and trade environments. Students learn how to identify hazards, manage emergency situations, and prioritise safety in real-world workplace settings.
In this Materials Design and Technology – Wood Area of Study, students continue to develop practical skills across a range of construction tasks including cabinetry, tiling, concreting, and block laying. The course culminates in the design and development of a small mock apartment within the CTP Hazlemere workshops, showcasing their technical and project management capabilities.
Students plan and participate in a community camp where they collaborate with a local not-for-profit organisation to design and deliver a real-world construction project. From budgeting and logistics to drafting, production management, and leadership, students apply their skills in an authentic community setting.
