Technical and Applied Studies Faculty – Ellouise Bernie
Our students have relished the opportunity to bring their design ideas to life this term, with students completing the produce, implement, test and evaluate sections of their projects.
Year 8 Technology students have designed and created hotel rooms for their interior architecture projects. They were given an individual design challenge with a target market and location in Australia as their limitations for their design. The students embraced this challenge and produced wonderful CAD models and foam core scale models to communicate their designs.
Year 10 Textiles students had a wonderful workshop with representatives from Wool 4 School. Students learnt about the qualities of wool textiles and participated in a design challenge.
Year 9 Design and Technology students participated in silver jewellery workshops at Hazelhurst Art Gallery over two weeks. Students were able to design and create their own silver ring in a day. They learnt valuable skills about jewellery making, empowering them with practical understanding that they can put into their future design projects.
We are looking forward to our celebration of all things design next term when we will celebrate our inaugural Design Week in week 6.
