Mixed Materials Lighting Solutions


In Terms 3 and 4, the Year 11 Mixed Materials students were tasked with creating an upcycled, recycled, or reused lighting solution.

Completing this gave them an outcome and evidence to reflect upon towards 1.2 of the new Materials Processing Technology standards. Also, it allowed them to display their understanding of sustainability while completing their external report.
