To be innovative leaders in technology curriculum delivery and development.
Nurture practical skills and knowledge through a variety of technological areas and food and nutrition, where students develop and evaluate outcomes.
The teaching and learning programme at MCTC is focussed on scaffolding capability and understanding of the foundations of Technology at Year 7.
The Yr 8 programme is designed to build on the core foundations of Year 7, enabling increased student voice and student application of skills and knowledge to develop more complex projects.
