Technology and Applied Studies (TAS)

The Technology Mandatory course will develop students’ skills, knowledge and understanding in:

  • Agriculture and Food Technologies

  • Digital Technologies

  • Engineered Systems

  • Material Technologies


Each of these areas is undertaken through the design and production of a variety of projects throughout Year 7 and 8. Students will undertake a minimum of four design projects across Years 7 and 8.

Projects are designed and developed in class and through these, students develop a range of practical skills and learn to safely use appropriate tools and equipment specific to each context area.

Projects will vary in complexity to match the skills and experiences of students throughout the year. Each class will have a different sequence of experiences in different materials.
