S4 Graphics - the boys are really leading the way with their isometric sketching 📐✏️ And before you ask, no drawing boards or isometric grid paper were used 🤯👏#UNCRCArticle29

Our camp stool prototype has now been completed, tested and passed. Which is great news because Miss Litster’s N5 Design class are already well into the build! Hopefully we will have some folding stools on their way home before summer. #buildtheskills

We’re thrilled to share a selection of stunning work from our HND Yr 1 students as part of their Lost Wax Carving Project. From intricate details to imaginative designs, these pieces showcase the hard work & talent that our students pour into their studies!@CofGCollege #Proud

Grade 9 finishing off their shields today. Impressive work by all!! The task was to research and create a design for a family shield/crest that represented them and their own personality. Symbolism and colour was key here!!

Amazing efforts by year 7 as they finish their decorative pieces. Some excellent aesthetic pieces combined with their new found skills in soldering!!!

Everything is coming up rosey in Technical these days. Our wildflowers are in bloom and our N5 roses are blending in beautifully!

Love a bit of foam board modelling. Although not perfect, a massive improvement from where my grade 8s were last lesson. Perfect practice for later this year when we start making the homes we have been designing. 🏡🏘️

NPA Furniture models really starting to take shape. Introducing pupils to veneering to elevate the final look of this week footstool project. They turned out awesome 🙌🏼

Tension, compression and a few mental breakdowns 🥴 I’ve very quickly learned how to swear in Spanish from the numerous expletives used by my year 10s throughout this project More than impressed with their results so far however!!! 🌉🌉

Our new cohort of NPA Jewellers have been developing their basic skills in piercing and surface decoration to create their own unique pendant designs. These look fantastic! Well done team! 👏👏 @DouglasAcad @DouglasAcadSTEM

Introductions to soldering this week creating simple wire shapes. The next task will be making a decorative piece using the skills they have learned before they progress into using LEDs, wires and other components!!

Nothing says welcome back quite like Mr McChesney on the chalkboard!

@MrLinnDTEd Hope all is going well.
