Technological and Applied Studies (TAS) is mandatory for all students in Year 7 and Year 8. Students can also select from a range of elective TAS subjects in years 9 to 12.
Students use a range of tools, materials and techniques in the design process and technological experiences through theory and practical lessons. The continuum of technology learning is based on:
- students becoming increasingly sophisticated in their ability to design and produce solutions for authentic needs and opportunities
- student specialisation in high school through a range of syllabuses addressing particular technologies and aspects of design
