We constantly admire our previous student, Amy's immaculate GCSE design work.
Enjoy a small snippet of her journey that any designer would be proud of!
100 child-friendly visors dropped off this afternoon
@tyhafan
. Hopefully they'll make a small difference. Thank you to
@officialCHS
pupils for designing! 👏😊
Fantastic for us to be nominated, but I'm sure others would have done the same if they could. Couldn't have made over 8600 visors without the help of our 45+ volunteers and astonishingly supportive local community!! Diolch yn fawr iawn, pawb!
@officialCHS
Staff at Cardiff High School have been nominated for Customer Services Heroes 2020 for their support to the NHS. Design & Technology Teachers were manufacturing 300 visors per day using school material and raised £10k to produce more.

📢 RECORD BROKEN! 📢
A grand total of 781 visors manufactured, assembled and distributed today! An incredible amount, I'm sure you would agree(?).
That totals 4339 visors distributed to date - WOW!
@officialCHS
Well, after setting a very ambitious target of x250 visors today. I can proudly say we absolutely SMASHED it! 🥁🥁🥁... Over 350 manufactured, assembled and delivered in ONE DAY!
Again, this would not be possible without the generosity of the community.
@CHS_PTA
@officialCHS
WE DID IT! We past the 5000 mark today. 👏🎊🎉
Totalling 5074 visors made to date. 7500 next I think 🤔💪
Huge THANK YOU to all parents, pupils, staff and the community for your support and making this happen!
@officialCHS

and these will help keep us all safe.
It really is so rewarding seeing our child-friendly visors making a world of difference in Children's Theatres. This spurs us on to make even more!
Also great to hear staff fighting over Anisah Hussain's (7L) 'Princess' design. 😊

Diolch!
I've had loads of entries so far. Here's another one that's made it to the production line... Amy Bennett 8S. A signature design for Amy - appearing in numerous design tasks this year in D&T. This time, with a twist.

A custom gazebo I made on the weekend. Plenty of trigonometry and numeracy used here calculating the ridge, rafters, jacks and hips. Showcasing how numeracy and design & technology fall hand in hand.
