Students build bookshelves from flat-packs

Brisbane Water Secondary College Year 10 Commerce students at Woy Woy campus have built four bookshelves from flat-packs.

Campus principal Ms Rebecca Cooper said the school had been providing practical exercises to help students get "life-ready" in their final fortnight of school for the year.

"Year 10 Commerce have been learning skills to help them move towards independence," she said.

"This week we left learning about paying and claiming tax, property rental and buying your first car, and moved onto essential skills of independence.

"What says independence better than building your own flat-pack furniture?

"We started with four flat-packs and ended with four bookshelves."
