7th May 2025 - Carpentry Taster Session at Carshalton College (KS3 & KS4)
This career related event was a great combination of a 'hands on' activity, short classroom session and a tour. During the classroom discussion, we explored different topics such as, courses available, application process, entry requirements and a Q&A session. We then took part in a college tour taking in all the facilities including the impressive automotive, plumbing and motorcycle workshops. Moving on to the carpentry workshop, we were provided with information about the task we would be completing; a half lap joint. The course leader explained health and safety procedures, identified some of the tools we would be using and gave a demonstration of how the task should be completed. The students put their carpentry skills to the test and produced some very neat joins! All received certificates of completion.
