Technology
The Technology faculty has developed a strategic plan that provides seamless technology education. This ensures that there is consistency with all aspects of the delivery of the curriculum. The knowledge learnt at the early years is scaffolded each year to develop deep learning in technology education for students. The students learn to work independently and use project management tools to plan for their practice. They also learn to work with stakeholders and gain feedback from them which they then apply to their own practice. Peer mentoring takes place across levels which enables the older students to guide the younger ones when challenged with a technology project.
The technologies that are explored at the various levels are: Materials, Bio-related, Food, Communications (Graphics and ICT), along with Creative Design processes.
The Technology Department was involved in the Beacon Practice Project (2005-2007).
