Technology

In Year 9 Technology learners complete three modules over the course of the year that introduce them  to each of the three specialised Technology subjects offered in the senior school;

• Design and Visual Communication 

• Digital Technology 

• Textiles

In all three modules learners are challenged to apply design thinking in order to solve real-world problems within contexts applicable to each individual Technology subject area.  Through project-based learning learners are provided with the opportunity to develop skills native to each subject.  Each module builds on previous technological knowledge and prepares learners for the Year 10 Technology half-year options.
