From the earliest times, God has given humans the skill and knowledge to shape and alter their environment in service to Him and each other. Societies have designed and applied technology to solve the problems they faced every day.
The application of technology has increased dramatically in the modern world and today impacts on most aspects of our daily lives.
Our needs for food, water, clothing and shelter are met by goods which are produced, transported, manufactured, monitored, marketed and distributed world wide by sophisticated technologies. Work, school, health and leisure activities are serviced and shaped by complex technological systems.

Course description
The study of Design and Technology provides students with opportunities to engage in a diverse range of creative and practical experiences using a variety of technologies widely available in industrial and domestic settings.
Design and Technology develops knowledge and understanding of materials and processes. Related knowledge and skills are developed through a specialised approach to the tools, materials and techniques employed in the planning, development, construction and evaluation of quality practical projects and processes. Critical thinking skills are developed through engagement with creative practical problem-solving activities.
What will students learn about?
What will students learn about?
Students investigate, analyse and apply a range of design concepts and design processes. They apply and evaluate a process of design when developing design ideas and solutions. Through engagement with project work, students develop skills to manage time as they sequence,
produce and evaluate in relation to a design process.
Students develop knowledge, understanding and appreciation of the relationship between past, present and emerging technologies and innovation activities, and evaluate and explain the impact of these on the individual, on society and on environments.
Students demonstrate knowledge and understanding of the work and responsibilities of Australian and overseas designers and analyse factors that affect their work. Students work responsibly as they evaluate designed solutions that reflect preferred futures, the principles of appropriate technology and ethical and responsible design.
Students demonstrate skills in innovation and enterprise in their project work. They communicate ideas about designed solutions to a range of audiences. They apply technological skills to select computing software applications in order to develop documentation for project work and to
communicate designed solutions. Students apply risk management strategies and safe work practices when selecting and using a
range of appropriate technologies to competently develop quality design solutions.
