Students Driven To Restore Classic Australian Car (North Coast Times 18/08/15)

Teenagers will swap their uniforms for overalls and get their hands greasy this year working on a rusty old ute that is more than 50 years old. Clarkson Community High School has invested in a 1964 EH Holden ute for its Year 12 automotive students to repair and refurbish. Principal John Young said the school bought the ute off Gumtree for about $5000, including delivery, and he hoped the students would enjoy working on an iconic Australian vehicle.

NAIDOC Week at Clarkson

CCHS celebrated NAIDOC today with a range of hands on cultural activities. Embracing this years theme of "We all stand on sacred ground" students did charcoal drawing, rock painting and learned some Noongar words through a storytelling session with Vanessa our AIEO. The highlight of the morning was a dance performance by some of our awesome Aboriginal students. We finished off the morning with a kangaroo sausage sizzle in our Nature Space.

Let Project EH Commence!

As you may already know, Clarkson Community High School is all about Invitational Education - inviting students to learn through innovation, motivating projects and creating a safe and welcoming learning environment.

Our Year 11 and 12 Automotive students needed a car to work on for their course so we thought why not give them a project to be proud of. A long hard look through Gumtree found this little beauty, a 1964 EH Holden ute. All the bits are there, they just need some serious TLC and our boys and girls will certainly be learning a great deal about welding, panel beating, spray painting, upholstery repair and chrome restoration.
