Single use Planet | Beeswax Wraps Students will inquire into how the development of resources can influence markets and trends to encourage sustainability. After researching into the identified problem, students will identify a suitable client and design a beeswax wrap range to suit the clients' needs. As part of the prototyping, students will be required to make, test and evaluate through an iterative design process, concluding with a product which demonstrates the students' highest potential level of achievement. This unit will cover the investigation, design, plan, create and testing of the design and final product. Light Box | Laser Cutting Students will explore identity; beliefs and values; personal, physical, mental, social and spiritual health; human relationships including families, friends, communities and cultures; what it means to be human.
