At the high school level, students often begin branching out into specific interests. Rather than assigning particular projects to be completed each term, we decided to instead offer a banquet to choose from.
These are merely ideas. If your student doesn’t find any particularly appealing, feel free to choose your own. Getting buy-in during these teenage years is important.One thing we would like to emphasize is that handwork/handcrafts is usually meant to deal with creating physical things. While coding and digital photography can be valid projects, do encourage your students to branch out into making things.
The PNEU scheduled the following projects: cardboard modeling, carving in alabaster, claymodelling, seat a stool, make a rug, wood carving/whittling, make book plates.Rather than assigning certain projects for each term in the upper forms, we give you several ideas to choose from:
