Description:

Strands to choose from are: TIMBER Industries, GRAPHICS Industries. Students are able to choose one strand only.

During the Preliminary Year, students gain knowledge, skills and understanding in designing, managing, problem-solving, communicating and safe use of manufacturing processes and techniques in the production of projects. This prepares the students for the HSC year. Students learn about design and then use this knowledge to research, design and produce a major product, documenting the entire process along the way.

Assessment:

In the HSC year, the students will be required to produce a Major Practical Project with an accompanying folio. The project is the student's own choice. Examples of projects students can do include: designing and drawing houses, buildings and stadiums, designing and building a timber cabinet, table, surfboard or pool table.

Additional Information:

It is recommended that students considering this course possess highly developed skills in their chosen area of TIMBER or GRAPHICS. Students without highly developed skills should consider undertaking our skill building focused courses such as Furniture Making and Construction.

Elective fees cover the costs of projects and consumables. In Year 12, students are required to purchase their own timber for their major design project. Consumables such as glue, screws, etc. will be supplied as part of the course fees. Fully enclosed steel cap footwear – predominantly leather upper shoes are to be worn prior to entering and during time in a technology space. Students may also complete the Design & Technology course without exemption.
