What is Textiles?
In Year 7 Textiles, students explore the exciting world of fabric and design. Using the Victorian Curriculum v2.0, they learn basic sewing skills, how to safely use tools and equipment, and how to follow simple patterns. Students are encouraged to be creative and solve problems while making fun and practical items. This subject also helps build fine motor skills and confidence through hands-on learning. Textiles gives students a chance to express themselves and understand how clothes and fabric products are made. It’s a fun and engaging way to begin learning about design and technology.
