TI 22 Year 9 Multimedia studies

Ever wondered how to combine images and sounds to create multimedia presentations?

In this unit you will be introduced to a number of technologies and software programs including:

• Adobe Premiere Pro
• Adobe Dreamweaver
• Adobe Animate
• Adobe PhotoShop

In this subject, you will use computers to combine different media types into professional produced products. Students will be taught how to produce digital assets with a view to preparing them for subjects/classes that are offered in senior school in the ICT/Multimedia area.

You will use the latest industry software for photo manipulation as well as learn digital animation/video editing techniques and website development.

Over the semester you will be required to complete the following assessment tasks:
• Adobe animation tasks
• PhotoShop photo editing tasks
• Audio editing/creation tasks
• Website creation
• Video Editing

TI 20 STEM

STEM is a semester long course that exposes students to a variety of hands on learning activities using a range of technologies such as 3D printing, robotics, coding and construction models.

After following short courses in a range of topics, students will use these skills to solve a real world problem and create a solution.

TF 21 Year 9 World Food

Material Cost: $50

A study of the foods eaten all over the world, as featured in our local community and greater Melbourne.

We chart the influences of history and migration on our modern Australian cuisine. We examine trends in food preparation, cooking methods and presentation. Students develop an understanding of specialized ingredients and signature dishes of many countries and use this knowledge to make authentic and creative food.

After successful completion of this course, you will have developed the skills and knowledge to continue with further studies in Foods, in particular VET Hospitality.

Pathway to VET Hospitality

Assessment Tasks:

Sensory Task - Report: we will work towards developing the skills and knowledge to write a wellstructured and detailed report about a food product.
Design, Produce and Evaluate - We design and produce a unique food product after investigating possible options and evaluate it against criteria
Research Task
Exam - We demonstrate skills and knowledge learnt over the semester.

TF 23 Icing on the Cake

Material Cost: $50

We develop our skills in designing, making, baking and decorating a wide variety of sweet products including delicious biscuits, slices, muffins, cakes and a celebration cake.

Every week in this course, students will learn skills and techniques that relate to baking. We will use the Design Process to investigate and develop design options. Equal amount of time is spent understanding the functions and properties of ingredients, preparation methods and cooking methods.

There is a focus on working with others in teams and following safe and hygienic food handling practices.

Assessment Tasks :

Sensory analysis - Report: we will work towards developing the skills and knowledge to write a well-structured and detailed report about a food product.
Research Task - We will investigate functions and properties of common ingredients.
Design and Produce - Procedure: to design and produce a celebration cake after investigating possible options.
Exam - Demonstrate knowledge and understanding of the course.

YEAR 9 Computer Programing

Program Length: 1 Semester

Learn the skills you need to thrive in a digital world. Computer programmers build new products, create websites, and solve all kinds of problems with their ability to think analytically. If you thought artificial intelligence was smart, just remember who created it—computer programmers!

Topics covered during the semester:

• Programming using Python

• Algorithms and data

• Problem-solving and project management

This unit is a pathway into VCE Applied Computing.

TE 21 Electronic Models

Material Cost: $35

This study focuses on the construction of working models such as the construction of a model car and plane. An understanding of the control required when using Electrical / Electronics to control the model. Using soldering and connection of electronic components and develop and understanding of Investigation, design, producing and evaluating the end product.

Duration: One Semester

Purpose: The purpose of this subject is to expose students to technologies that are used in engineering and prepare the student for year 10 technology electives. This based on Planning, design, constructing and evaluating. The object is to explore the various technologies and how they are used.

The students demonstrate their understanding by producing models that incorporate different materials and understanding the techniques employed in the construct of these materials. They must evaluate each model using evaluation sheets, content must include theory to a basic level and be familiar with terms related to the said technology (literacy component).

They must have an understanding of units and measurement and be able to carry out basic calculations when building and completing theory work (Numeracy component). Grading in this subject is based on the following outcomes. 1. Completed models with evaluation sheets. 2. Complete portfolio tasks and display folder with all handouts and information intact. 3. Basic test week 8 and final test week 18.

Areas of Study

1. Aspects of design
2. Uses of tools and equipment
3. Safety in the work shop
4. Materials, properties
5. Production of model
6. Working with plans and specifications
7. Investigating, analysis and evaluation of the product.
8. Control systems.
9. Basic electronic components.
10. Electronic Circuit design

Assessment

1. Research and investigation
2. Design folio
3. Production
4. Evaluation

NB: OHS guidelines must be observed while completing this course. Students must wear Black leather shoes. Rest of PPE equipment supplies.
