Technology & Applied Studies

Within this KLA, we aim to give students opportunities to develop their knowledge, creativity, initiative and practical skills. Each student is presented with sequenced learning experiences that develop their confidence in tackling challenges presented to them. The quality work produced by our senior students is often 3% inspiration and 97% perspiration. With a keen work ethic and a focus on experiential learning, students develop and retain knowledge and skills quickly. Our Visual Arts department is the envy of many schools in producing 'Body of Work' that are regularly nominated for Art Express. Students in Hospitality make the finals of the World Skills Championship and Design Tech has hosted a number of our senior Design & Technology Major Design Projects.

In Years 7 and 8 students are exposed to each of these subjects in a series of Units.  They are taught the basic skills within each discipline and given a 'taste' of what is to come to help them in deciding their electives for the future.  For more information on the subsequent development of specific subjects please follow the links on the left.
