BGS+ Design & Technology
Term 1 Construct a Toolbox
Term 1 2026 commences Monday 9 February
Location: Junior School Design and Technology Room
From Brighton Grammar’s Junior School Design and Technology department comes an exciting opportunity for students to further their woodwork skills. In making a Meal Caddy, each student will practice the skills learned in the previous topic.
This is a six-week program for Year 3 and 4 students on Mondays – 3.30 to 4.45pm.
The program is capped at 10 participants per session.
Learning Intention and Success Criteria
The aim of this very practical course is for boys to learn safe and handy techniques to construct a toolbox which they will take home. This hopefully will inspire participants to continue the design / construct ‘bug’ at home. Who knows where it could lead to? After all, architects, engineers, inventors and entrepreneurs started somewhere.
Students will learn:
- Techniques in measuring, using the hand saw, tenon saw and hammer as well as sanding
- To follow a design process step by step
- To work safely
