“We are born makers. We move what we're learning from our heads, to our hearts, through our hands” - Brene Brown

 

Students use a range of tools, materials and techniques in the design process and technological experiences through theory and practical lessons.

Technological and applied studies (TAS) is mandatory for all students in Stage 4.

Students then have an opportunity to select from a range of elective TAS subjects in Stages 5 and 6.

The continuum of technogogy learning is:

  • Based on students becoming increasingly sophisticated in their ability to design and produce solutions for authentic needs and opportunities
  • An option for student specialisation in secondary school through a range of syllabuses addressing technologies and aspects of design.


 Goals

  • Students can gain an understanding of, and passion for creating, designing, and implementing solutions to real life problems
  • Utilise the school’s dispositions to foster a love of learning
  • Gain appropriate skills to use in life
  • Promote sustainability
