Stage 4 Technology Mandatory (Year 7 and Year 8)
In stage 4 Technology Mandatory students have the opportunity to develop knowledge and understanding in the following technologies:-
* Food and Agriculture
* Digital Technology
* Engineered Systems
* Materials (Textiles, Metals, Timber)
The current structure is 3 rotations a year. Students rotate technologies every 13 weeks. In most instances students will change their teacher every 13 weeks. There are some classes that are standalone where they keep the teacher and just change the technology studied.
The stage 4 Technology Mandatory syllabus will focus on the development of a design and production folio and product. Students use the design and production process to solve a problem.
Currently, the faculty is using a google platform called, CS First in digital technology. This is a learning platform that enables students to develop competency in digital technology. Students complete 8 modules over two years.
Students in stage 4 must have the correct personal protective equipment (PPE) to fully participate in all technologies, this includes correct closed-in black leather shoes and aprons.
We have access to class netbooks in the faculty and we access many computer rooms across the school.
