Year 11 Maths students from Mr Kunz’s class and PROPEL had a hands-on lesson in car maintenance this week. The students are currently doing an assessment task on factors that need to be considered when purchasing a car - loan repayments, servicing and maintenance, fuel economy, registration, etc. Many of the students expressed that they have never carried out routine checks on a car, so a lesson was spent demonstrating how to change a tyre, how to check various fluid levels, how to check if there is enough tread on a tyre, whether a car needs a wheel alignment, along with other things to look for or be aware of when buying and owning a car. Hopefully no one will need to change a flat tyre anytime soon, but having the confidence and skills to attempt it if necessary is the goal!
