Year 7 and 8 students are back into their projects and tasks in their Technology Mandatory Focus areas. Students are happy to be in such a positive learning environment engaging in their tasks. There has been a lot of work needed to be done down at the Farm and they have helped the Stage 5 Agricultural classes get the farm back up and running after lockdown.

Ms Frank and Ms Hall’s Textiles classes have been busy at the sewing machines.

Dragsters have been soldered and laser cut and students have been coding in a range of different languages.

I would like to put a special mention to Ethan Foster-Percy who wired and soldered his twin motors on a 3D printed tank he designed and made using his skills from his Tech classes.

There has been a real focus on getting students back in practical tasks in Stage 5 as well. We have seen a range of designs in Year 10 Industrial Tech making their end tables. As mentioned, with the farm being absent of students during remote learning students have rolled up their sleeves and Year 9 have redesigned their plots carrying over for managing next year. Marine and Aquaculture classes have also been in the workshop making their surf planes.

Year 11 Design and Technology students and Industrial Technology students are well into the planning and design phase of their Major projects to be completed next year. 

Food Technology have been making cuisines and it is great to see a Senior Food Technology class in 2022, alongside Hospitality. 

A special mention to Year 10 Food Technology students who were challenged with the task of designing and making a cake for a special occasion.

Students designed then created some incredible cakes! 

Fantastic work Year 10!
