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.

We expect this project to run a few years before she's looking as good as new, but until then we will be posting students' progress on our technology blog. This is a fantastic learning opportunity for our Automotive students and we wish them all the best in restoring our old girl to her former glory.
