You Beauty!!

‘A Taste of TAFE’ was held on December 4th, 2008 for Year 10 students from John Pirie Secondary School. The day was divided into two sessions, each running for approximately two hours each, with a variety of vocations on offer for students to ‘test drive’.

There were a variety of information seminars going on around the TAFE Campus which included Administration & Retail, Boilermaking & Welding, Automotive, Electrical, Hospitality, Childcare, Information Technology, Health and Hair & Beauty.

Here we can see some of the students who took part in the Hair & Beauty sessions, which were highly popular with the female students, in which they were shown the tricks and tips to a flawless face for all occasions and, more particularly, how to blend their eyeshadow.

Students were also shown some fundamental, yet little known, tips to perfect hair styles such as how to properly and securely place a bobby pin, how to backcomb hair for body and fullness without knotting, how to curl hair using a straightening iron and many simple, do-it-yourself styles for any occasion, all of which were a roaring success!

Toying with the Future

As part of the ‘Taste of TAFE’ seminars held on December 4th, 2008, students took part in various seminars to ‘road test’ the different inductries they might be interested in pursuing after school. One of the many sessions on offer was Child Care.

During the Child Care sessions students took part in animated story reading, the art of making play-doh (and then using it, much to the delight of their inner-child) and also making coloured ‘goo’ out of cornflour, water and food colouring. This was a particular favourite among the students as when it is  being handled quickly it is solid but when it is stationary it transforms into a gooey mess. There were many blue and green tinged hands getting around the Campus after that.

Who knew making a mess and having fun could be all in a days work?
