Last week, Wednesday 11^th August, we had the opportunity to attend the Graduation to celebrate the completion of Certificate II in Construction Pathways Course for our Senior Learning Hub students Ashley Watkins and Kaleb Pryor. The course was run by the Glossop High School and their training partner, Carey Training and we were extremely lucky for our Renmark High Students to be able to participate in this program. 

During term 2, Both Kaleb and Ashley attended Glossop High 3 days a week for weeks 1-9, and then 5 days in week 10. The boys were delivered information through a Powerpoint and textbook theory, around important on the job rules and responsibilities while working on a job site. Students worked with the assessor observing the techniques for each building and construction to help with their final assessment.  

As the boys worked through the course, they became more confident and their courage grew to help complete the set construction tasks, which included paving, cement pad and shed, and a shower alcove. On completion, both boys successfully passed. 

This qualification provides a pathway to the primary trades in the construction industry. The Certificate II is designed to introduce learners to the recognised trade callings in the construction industry and provide meaningful credit in a construction industry. 

This was a great achievement by all the attending students! Congratulations to you both on successfully completing your Certificate II in Construction Pathways, you should both be very proud of yourselves!
