Textiles and Design

Students in the Textiles and Design course cover a wide range of topics during the Preliminary and HSC course ranging from the elements of design, the properties and performance of textiles and an in depth look at the Australian textile, clothing, footwear and allied industries.

In the Preliminary course students will undertake two preliminary textile projects. 

In the HSC course, students undertake a Major Textiles Project which allows them to develop a textile project from one of the following focus areas: 

• Apparel, 

• Furnishings, 

• Costume, 

• Textile arts, 

• Non-apparel. 

The selected focus area allows students to explore in detail one area of interest through a creative textile design process. 

There is a 1.5 hour external examination for students undertaking the course which involves a mix of multiple choice questions, short answer and extended response questions.
