In Design Technology, students are taught problem solving skills.

During Y9 and Y10, students build various projects in the wood workshop to establish the necessary skills for the senior course.

One of the highlights is building a functional pinball machine in Y10. For Y11 to Y13, students identify, design and make their own projects. Popular projects each year are Bluetooth speakers, bedside tables, deck chairs, storage and furniture pieces. The course is offered in a wood workshop but students are challenged to think outside the square and are encouraged to use a variety of materials in their projects with access to the Engineering workshop as well.

This is a University Entrance accredited subject and although it provides opportunities for students to study towards University qualifications, it also provides students with transferable life skills they can apply in all walks of life.

Students from this workshop have moved on to become Engineers, bankers, builders, plumbers, electricians, architects, nurses, real estate developers, etc.
