Construction

The Construction Curriculum Framework is designed to enable students to acquire a range of technical, personal and organisational skills valued both within and beyond the workplace. Students will also acquire underpinning skills and knowledge related to functional areas within the construction industry.

The building and construction industry consists of seven major sectors: civil construction, general construction, off site, services, heavy engineering, technical/para-professional and professional.

The two extension courses, Construction Specialist Studies (60 indicative hours) and Construction Specialist Studies (120 indicative hours), provide students with the opportunity to gain additional competencies.

A syllabus is a document that gives teachers an outline of what students are to be taught in a specific learning area.

The syllabus and other supporting material for Construction 11-12 is available from the Board of Studies.
