Desgin & Technology Faculty

Design and Technology is a project based form of education where students can...

  • Complete class projects incorporating different materials (timber, metal and plastic)
  • Complete associated theory booklets which include basic "Basic Education" and "Manufacturing" information
  • Receive relevant work shop safety information and awareness

Assessment is done through class work, technology notes and a technology test. Material costs are an inclusive part of normal school fees so no additional money is required. For Year 8 students: the same course will be offered in both semester 1 and 2 so Design and Technology can only be one 6 month unit.
