Our staff nurture student interest in technology, guiding them in learning to write basic computer programs and teaching the fundamentals of computer coding through the use of Arduinos, Lego Minstorm Robotics kits and other industry level software.
Our Industrial Arts curriculum is known within our community for immersing students in a world of practical experiences in which the learn to design, construct and evaluate a variety of projects sing materials including timber, metals and plastics. Students master skills using traditional hand and power tools, as well as experimenting with newer technologies such as 3D printing and laser cutting.
Textiles students learn sewing techniques, with many opportunities to experiment with alternative textile skills and produce a variety of quality textile items.
Technological and applied studies (TAS) is mandatory for all students in Year 7 and 8. Students can also select from a range of elective TAS subjects.
