Design and Technology
Design and Technology gives students opportunities to work with a wide range of materials, principles and systems while being engaged in developing ideas, innovation and creativity.
In Design and Technology, students will study Materials and Engineering.
From Years 7 to 12, students will develop a clear understanding of the elements and fundamentals of design, planning and management, learn safe and responsible use of materials and tools to successfully complete their design tasks in our workshops.

Materials
Years 7 to 10
In Materials, students will design and produce various projects, including laminating materials, complex design and material selection. Students will explore ideas, investigate them and follow a design brief.
Engineering
Years 7 to 10
In Engineering, students will design and manufacture a racing car using rubber bands and CO₂ canisters as the propulsion system and race them on a 20-metre track. This project introduces new skills in shaping materials, complex design, material selection, and surface preparation and application.
Graphics
Years 7 to 10
In Graphics, students will work on small 2D and 3D projects. Students will learn to use computer software to enhance their ideas and designs using 3D printers, creating exciting projects such as stickers and logo designs.
