Year 8 Fibre – Cobblebank

Year 8 Fibre students at Cobblebank have received their initial sewing license and are now fully qualified to operate the sewing machines.

Their next task is to consider how they can use these skills to solve problems for the community.

To start their sewing journey off with a skip in their step, they will learn about the importance of local wildlife rescue centres and the different ways they can help animals in need.

Students will focus on joeys of all shapes and sizes, including baby kangaroos, possums and wombats, which all come under the joey category, even Tasmanian devils!

The students will soon be creating flannelette pouches using the sewing machines. They will then meet real-life joeys during their incursion on 31 March and donate their hand-made pouches. Watch this space for further updates on the incursion day.
