Clarkson musical instrument maker Phil Mendel has been keen on the didgeridoo for more than 30 years.

Mr Mendel recently out six students from Clarkson Community High School through the first of six lessons they are being offered in how to play the ancient musical instrument.

Boost For Training

The State Governement announced on Saturday it would spend $12.44 million building a construction, building and electrical trades training centre in Clarkson.

The centre, to be built on vacant land at Clarkson Community High School, would be part of West Coast TAFE. It is expected to open in 2009.

"North" TAFE Needed

The State Government needs to allocate more than $10 million in its 2007-08 budget to fund a TAFE campus in the northern suburbs, says Mindarie MLA John Quigley.

Shed Full of Trade Secrets

It is called The Shed, and it is the powerhouse of a new program for students learning the basics of the building trade.

The Satterly Property Group has started a pre-apprenticeship training program to reduce the shortage of skilled trades people in the building industry - and 24 Year 11 students from Clarkson Community High School are its first group of learners.

Recipe for Success

Clarkson Community High School students finalised a semester-long project that required them to produce a recipe book and cutting board last month.

Hard Fisted, in Name Only

Brighton Estate is staging a concert on February 24th and it just had to get Hard Fisted back there.
