Technology and Applied Studies

The school faculty of Technology and Applied Studies (TAS) provides a creative and innovative curriculum. The faculty embraces sustainable and emerging technologies in a variety of settings.
Each area is well resourced to provide a range of practical experiences and develop students’ confidence in the designing, producing and evaluating of solutions to situations involving any of the technologies.

Areas of study include:

Year 7 and 8 (Stage 4) –Mandatory Technology (studying Products and Built Environment)
Years 9 and 10 (Stage 5) –Food Technology, Graphics Technology, Industrial Technology (metal, timber and electronics) and Textiles Technology
Years 11 and 12 (Stage 6) –Exploring Early Childhood, Food Technology, Industrial Technology (Timber and Furnishings), Textiles and Design, Hospitality Operations and Construction.

Vocational Education and Training

The Vocational and Educational Training (VET) courses, Hospitality Operation and Construction, are recognised both by industry and for the award of the HSC. The opportunity for students to undertake VET courses gives them the leading edge with employment empowerment and the chance to undertake further studies with the award of a Certificate II in their chosen field. This certificate is credited towards national vocational qualifications under the Australian Qualifications Framework. Students can continue their training and studies within the industry, or through TAFE and private providers.

Through all these courses we support and participate in community fund raising activities and network with other schools. We are able to enrich the learning of our students through our new commercial kitchen and engaging in construction projects around the school.  We also have specialised community members demonstrate their skills and regularly visit local establishments.
