DESIGN & TECHNOLOGY
Board Developed Course (ATAR)
Design and Technology involves the study of design theory and practice, design processes, environmental and social issues, communication, research, technologies, and the manipulation of materials, tools and techniques.
Students will experience hands-on practical activities which develop knowledge and skills in designing and producing. The course involves the development, realisation and documentation of design projects, including a Major Design Project and supporting folio in Year 12.
This major work requires students to select and apply appropriate design, production and evaluation skills to a product, system or environment that satisfies an identified need or opportunity.
Further information is available on the NESA website.
If a student qualifies, the Design and Technology Life Skills Course is available in mainstream classes. More information on Life Skills courses can be found here.
