In Y7 & 8 students will be a part of a four semester rotation (two terms in each semester) to allow them to experience at least four of the six technology options available to students at AJHS. The purpose of this rotation is to teach students the basic skills required to achieve success in these areas but also to give them a taste of the kind of learning opportunities experienced at AJHS in Technology.
During these rotations we have a focus on developing students ability to follow a design process, meeting brief and specification requirements, to safely design and create a range of potential outcomes. Students are encouraged to address situations in innovative and original ways making a wide range of functional outcomes.
We have also committed within this rotation to ensuring all students are experiencing direct teaching linked to the digital technologies curriculum. At AJHS we have a head start in this new area of the NZ curriculum. Teaching digital technologies, coding, robotics and digital based design for the past 8 years. Within the Y7 &8 rotation, students learn about computer systems, coding languages, and design functional digital outcomes.
Our wish is that each student can find joy while learning through the hands on practical approach that technology based subjects allow.
In Y7 &8 Students will get to experience four of the below rotations:
Food Technology
Fabric Technology
Digital Technology
Design and Visual Communication
Materials Technology
Additionally in Y9 &10 students can opt into courses such as:
Creative Digital Technologies
Digital Technologies
