Design Technologies
Welcome to semester 2 of 2025, this year we have some exciting, fun projects to push students creative and critical thinking, we are excited to share the journey with students, parents and careers.
We also would like to welcome Mr Turnbull to our Design Technologies Teaching team. He will be teaching our Year 9 Design Engineering class, he has a passion in sports such as cricket and football and F1 cars.
Year 7 and 9 students who are new to our elective classes this term, will be required to sign an activity consent form. In our subject students have the opportunities to learn new skills using a wide range of tools and equipment. Including 3D Printers, Laser Cutter, CAD Software, CNC Router, CNC Plasma Cutter and much more. All of this wonderful equipment can have an element of risk when learning how to use them. It is a requirement that we have parent consent for a number of our classes this is so that as parents you understand the risk associated with the class
Below is a link to our Design Technologies Parent Consent form - All students in year 7,9,10 & 11 studying Design Technologies, Design Engineering, Design, Engineering Pathways or Construction are required to have this completed before beginning practical activities. If your child is studying more than one of these subjects, they are only required to complete the form once.
