Year 10 Design and Technology

Year 10 Design and Technology have been letting their imagination take flight recently when they designed and constructed birdhouses for Australian native birds.

The challenging twist to this exercise was to be sustainable by sourcing their own building materials, relying on the re-use and upcycling of what would otherwise be classified as waste.
 
The resulting birdhouses looked fabulous, and few would ever guess that they had been made from such wide ranging materials as rabbit fencing, kitchen bench and Colorbond fencing off cuts, and even a bongo drum!
