Design’s main purpose is to solve a problem,
but if you can solve the problem and create something that looks amazing at the same time,
you have truly created a good design.

Year 12 Design & Technology

Year 12 students have solved their problems with style and presented some amazing major works for 2021. The boutique class of five students worked diligently under onerous circumstances to produce their projects that demonstrated a high degree of problem solving, design thinking and a range of very different techniques.

Congratulations to the Design and Technology class of 2021 who should be very proud of what they have achieved.

 

 

 

Caitlin: A luxury dog house that included a solar powered fan for the warmer months.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Helen: A scaled model of an outdoor learning space for students at Mary MacKillop Catholic College, made from reinforced concrete with a desk ledge for students to complete their school work comfortably in the great outdoor grounds of the College.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Marwha: A high visibility cyclist jacket with extra protection for elbows and shoulders. The jacket incorporated lights in the lower lumbar area so when riding in the night the cyclist can be very easily seen.

The rayon knit fabric ensured a comfortable fit and easy movement.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Lorin: A bespoke handbag for everyday social outings that boosted a laser cut personalised butterfly tag and matching buckle decoration. Made from durable faux leather, not only does the back look good but it has internal lights that can be switched on to see the contents of the bag in bad lighting.

A must for all of those who shop all day and return home at dark only to find it impossible to find the house keys.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Year 11 Design & Technology

Year 11 were finally able to show off the projects they had made earlier in the year. The project was to design and create a storage device for the bedroom using timber as the base material. A vast array of projects were designed and created by the students who are eager to finally get them home. Artistic shelving, a wall hanging desk, tissue box cover, specialty boxes, computer hiding foot rest and very unique pouffes were some of the projects presented. Good luck to the students as they begin their major design projects for 2022.
