The students haven't received a single penny {or their labour, but the rewards will come some time in the future when they complete the 'building construction' course of- fered by the school. The garage project (behind a house close to the school) got under- way in mid-September and it's due for completion in a week or two, says teacher Keith Hooper who has supervised the work. Getting out of the classroom and actually working on a project like this is part of the construction course for grade 11 and 12 students this fall and Mr. Hooper says the benefits from such work are good for the students. "I want the work to be as realistic as possible and still be in a school setting," he said at the job site last week. There are about 30 students who have been working on the garage and they started right from scratch THIS WEEK ONLY with a survey. They poured the 22 by 26 concrete slab floor, put up the stud walls, the roof trusses, the roof, shingles and the exterior panelling. And when they are finished the con- struction, a group of electrical students will move in and do the wiring. Each class works an average of four hours per week on the garage and their individual performance is marked each day. The grade will ac- count for 60 per cent of their mark this term. "I'm trying to impress upon them (the students) that the mark they get is how a contractor would judge their work on a job site," said Mr. Hooper. The building construction course at PPHS lasts four years, the first two years in wood-working and the final two involve actual building projects like the garage. Students will also be involved in constructing pre-fab sheds and a gazebo this winter. The person for whom the garage is being built buys all the materials, the student labour is free. Mr. Hooper said his students won't complete the job as quickly as a professional contractor because they are learning. But quality workmanship is stressed, along with safety, and the students must also learn to work in compliance with building codes and local by-laws. OJT for these students There is a waiting list of people in the community who want a project done by the construction students. But any off-school project must be close to PPHS. Mr. Hooper said the prospects for his grads in the job market are very good. Most will find work with a con- - tractor, and after a few years ex- perience, many of them will go on their own and get into the construc- tion or carpentry business. for themselves.
