Technologies

Search

Our Technologies curriculum spans Food Technologies, Product and Textile Design, Engineering and Digital Technology, offering dynamic, hands-on learning that prepares students for the future. Through practical projects and real-world problem-solving, students build digital literacy, creativity and critical and speculative thinking skills.

Students design, create, test and refine solutions to authentic challenges, developing confidence, collaboration and ethical decision-making. In Food Technologies, they explore diverse cuisines while learning about nutrition, food safety and sustainability. Across all subjects, students grow into innovative thinkers and capable problem solvers, ready to contribute positively to their communities.

Year 7 & 8 (Innovate)

In Year 7 & 8, students study Innovate, a hands-on design and technology program where learning is incorporated into student-driven projects based on the Technologies curriculum. Students use the Innovation Lab to develop and create their projects, and work with a range of technologies in the Workshops, Fab Lab and Kitchen. They learn to create solutions to real-world problems with a range of technology, including coding, 3D printing, laser cutting, woodworking, metalworking, acrylics, resin and other technologies.

Innovate & PBL Expo

The Innovate & PBL Expo is an opportunity for students to celebrate and showcase their learning with the school community. In doing so, students share how they have used authentic inquiry in project-based learning. From captivating displays to engaging 1-minute pitches and thought-provoking posters, their creativity and dedication shines brightly.

Year 7 & 8 students showcase their current Innovate PBL's.
Year 9 & 10 students present a PBL from one of their Specialisms.

As part of the experience, parents are invited to vote for the best PBL. This dynamic evening offers an authentic audience to celebrate and support the ingenuity of our students' innovations.

Innovate & PBL Expo Photos & Videos

Innovate is always a subject which prompts creativity, and this PBL was no exception. For this Inventions & Discoveries project, we had to research, design, and construct a product which no one has come up with before. It was challenging, but was worth it in the end when we made our concepts real by creating a prototype of our product.
