Melton Campus Makers Market

Our Melton Campus VCE Vocational Major and Victorian Pathways Certificate students have been working hard preparing a range of handmade gifts for the annual Makers Market, to be held during Big Break on Friday 10 May.

This year, our students are exploring various creative skills in preparation for the market. They have dabbled in UV resin, decoupage, polymer clay, melting wax and soap, terrarium building, macrame, embossing and much more.

Items for sale will include resin pendants, bookmarks, body wash and scrubs, lip gloss, wall art, homemade cards, jewellery/gift boxes, soap, and more. All proceeds raised will be donated to a worthy cause.

Producing this range of products has developed our students’ problem-solving and teamwork abilities. They are also achieving their course outcomes around Occupational Health and Safety, collaboration, conflict resolution in groups, idea sharing, and developing transferable employment skills.

The Makers Market is a great chance for students to purchase a handmade Mother’s Day gift! Cash and cards will be accepted, and hot chocolates whipped up by our budding baristas will also be available.
