Students design, make and appraise practical solutions that respond to opportunities, problems, needs or enterprising ideas. Using technology involves selecting and applying practical skills, techniques, tools and materials to create design solutions. It is based on the design process in which students are given design challenges and encouraged to think creatively about a range of practical solutions.
Students will study an introductory course in year 7 and 8, in which students sample a few of the different types of technology offered as electives from year 9 onwards at BHS. These are wood based design, metal-based design, graphic design with computers and designing with electronics.
