At our school, Design and Technologies empowers students to be creative problem-solvers, critical thinkers, and confident users of technology. Through hands-on learning experiences, students investigate real-world problems, generate ideas, create solutions, and evaluate their designs using a range of tools, materials, and digital technologies.

Learning in Design and Technologies supports students to:

• Think creatively and logically
• Develop practical skills and digital confidence
• Work collaboratively and communicate ideas
• Understand how technologies impact everyday life

Technology at Our School

We are well resourced to support high-quality learning experiences in Design and Technologies.

Students have access to:

• iPads to support creativity, research, and digital design
• A bank of laptops in Junior Primary, allowing shared access and early digital skill development
• A 1:1 school-supplied device program in the upper years, ensuring all students have consistent access to technology to support learning, collaboration, and creation.

These tools are integrated purposefully into learning, helping students build skills that are relevant for the future.
