Broken Hill High School

🎨 Year 12 Visual Arts Sydney Excursion 🌆

Our Year 12 Visual Arts students, together with senior Visual Arts classes from Willyama High School, enjoyed an amazing 5-day trip to Sydney! 🏙️

They engaged in workshops at the Art Gallery of NSW, focusing on the Archibald Prize 🖼️ and the breath-taking new "Naala Badu (Seeing Waters)" gallery 🌊. Students explored the gallery to discover their favourite artworks and experienced the immersive Mike Hewson: The Keys Under the Mat installation 🔑 — complete with a BBQ lunch!

Guided by teachers, students toured the Tony Albert exhibition at the Museum of Contemporary Art 🏛️ and admired works by Outback Art Prize winner Abdul-Rahman Abdullah at the Chau Chak Wing Museum, Sydney Uni 🎓.

The adventure included exhibitions from the Sydney Biennale and culminated with the spectacular Vivid Festival at Circular Quay 🎆.

A truly unforgettable cultural journey with a fantastic group of students! 🙌

🚗🔧Start Your Engines! 🚗🔧

Last week, students from Broken Hill High School and Willyama High School had the exciting opportunity to participate in a targeted industry pathways program focused on automotive skills. Delivered by Axial Training and hosted in the dedicated automotive workshop at TAFE Broken Hill, students completed three units from a Cert III in Mechanical Technology and walked away with essential knowledge and practical experience across key areas of the industry. 🛠️🎓

The program placed strong emphasis on workplace safety, equipping participants with the know-how to create and maintain safe, productive workspaces. 🦺✅ In addition, students had the opportunity to develop practical skills in testing, charging, and replacing batteries and jump-starting vehicles ⚡🔋, and also gained valuable hands-on experience in vehicle maintenance and servicing 🛞🔩, offering a well-rounded introduction to the day-to-day operations of an automotive workshop.

The students thoroughly enjoyed the hands-on learning experience, with many expressing enthusiasm about pursuing further training and careers in the automotive industry. 🚘💼 This targeted training initiative not only provided valuable skills but also inspired the next generation of automotive professionals from the Broken Hill community. 🌟
