Studying Computing Technology enables students to develop skills in the specific application of computing technologies and to develop digital solutions applicable to a range of industrial, commercial and recreational contexts.
Computing Technology focuses on computational, design and systems thinking. It also develops data analysis and programming (coding) skills. The knowledge and skills developed in the course enable students to contribute to an increasingly technology-focused world.
Enterprise information systems: Modelling networks and social connections
Enterprise information systems: Designing for user experience
Enterprise information systems: Analysing data
Software development: Building mechatronic and automated systems
Software development: Creating games and simulations
Software development: Developing apps and web software
Students will become increasingly confident, creative, efficient and discerning when using and developing a range of digital products/solutions. They will expand their understanding of related work environments while developing skills to equip them for further education, vocational pathways and personal interests.
We look at a variety of IT - including the components that make up our computers, the software that makes them operate, and how data is stored on the computer.
None, all software that students need to use is either free or covered under the school's licence.
Satisfactory completion of 100 or 200 hours of study in Computing Technology during Stage 5 (Years 9 and 10) will be recorded with a grade on the student’s Record of School Achievement.
