NEWS FROM THE TAS DEPARTMENT

Like all Faculties the TAS Department has had many challenges in remote learning, particularly maintaining practical delivery of lessons. Our Year 12 Industrial Technology and Design and Technology classes who submit a Major works had to continue on in remote learning, not knowing what would change regarding NESA requirements and submission dates. Luckily all students took ownership and committed to returning to school early in Term Two continuing on with their practical components minimising disruptions for the September due dates. 

For the second year since 2015 the TAS department has seen both courses run concurrently. This has been fantastic to see such a large range of projects, particularly in D&T where students are basing their Major works around products and services including creating a dance program for students, biodegradable packaging and clever furniture design.

Remote learning for Year 11 INT has seen opportunities to build learning resources such as CAD (Computer aided design) tutorials. This has seen an increase in quality and exploration of design which will benefit students in Year 12 with their folios.

Year 12 Agriculture students are currently working on their elective. There are three to choose from and students have selected to study in their area of interest. The electives focus on current issues facing Australian agriculture and include the study of information technology, genetic manipulation, changing climate, bio fuels and robotics.
