Design & Technology
Technology and Enterprise is comprised of a range of subjects that encompass elements from all other subjects and combine them to help students realise real world solutions.
Technologies Learning Area Design is a core objective throughout and allows students to explore their own creative processes. Using current technology students’ control, plan, adapt and build projects and create products that satisfy personal and client needs. Students who are interested in being creative, applying their knowledge, gaining industry skills and pathways to further develop their abilities would most benefit, however all classes cater to individual learning aspirations. Technologies is subdivided into two main subject areas: Design Technologies and Digital Technologies.
Design and Technologies
At Cecil Andrews College, Design and Technology enables students to learn real world skills and knowledge, both in traditional and 21st century technologies. This will equip students with the necessary skills and knowledge to pursue careers in industry through apprenticeships, TAFE and university pathways.
We provide students with opportunities to think creatively, solve real-world problems and develop practical skills for the future. Through hands-on learning experiences, students explore the design process by investigating needs, generating ideas, creating solutions and evaluating their work.
Students learn to safely and confidently use a range of materials, tools and technologies. Areas of study may include woodwork, metalwork, engineering principles, digital technologies, product design and emerging technologies.
Our program encourages innovation, collaboration and critical thinking while building important life and workplace skills. Students develop confidence in planning and creating projects, managing resources and applying technology in practical ways.
