Industrial Technology Timber is offered as a stage 5 elective to all students of both genders. Students may select either a 100 or 200 hour course. Students electing to study Industrial Technology Timber will develop knowledge and skills that relate to the timber and associated industries. They will also gain skills in the use of materials, tools and techniques in the areas of wood machining and cabinet work. Students will develop skills through hands-on interaction with these in the design, planning and production of practical projects.

 This course allows students develop an awareness of the importance of environmental sustainability in relation to the use of materials and technologies and their effects on people and society. It also develops in students an understanding of related work environments and Occupational Health and Safety (OHS) matters, while developing a range of skills that will equip them for future leisure and lifestyle activities, potential vocational pathways or future learning in the technology field.

In both the 100 hour and 200 hour course students will study the units of General wood 1 and General Wood 2. The 200 hour course provides students in Year 10 the opportunity to select two specialised modules from the areas of Wood Machining and Cabinetwork.
