Technological and Applied Studies

The TAS key learning area provides core curriculum through Technology Mandatory in Stage 4 Years 7 and 8. Technology mandatory offers a comprehensive foundation in technology through both theoretical and practical learning. Students engage with a wide range of tools, materials, and design techniques, developing their technological understanding and skills by working through the design process.

Beyond the compulsory Stage 4 curriculum, students have the opportunity to choose from diverse elective TAS courses that align with their interests and strengths.

The Stage 5 electives include Food Technology, Textiles Technology, Design and Technology, Graphics Technology, Industrial Technology, and Computing Technology, enabling students to deepen their expertise in specialised areas.

The TAS curriculum is designed to equip students with the skills to create innovative solutions addressing real-world challenges while providing clear pathways for advanced study in high school.

At Stage 6, students can pursue in depth courses such as Design and Technology, Food Technology, Engineering Studies, Industrial Technology, Textiles and Design, and Hospitality – Food and Beverage (VET), preparing them for tertiary education and careers across a broad range of technological fields.

A strong emphasis on safety, ethical, social, environmental, and sustainability considerations underpins the TAS curriculum. Students learn to produce quality solutions, apply effective evaluation methods, and appreciate the impact of innovation and emerging technologies on society and the environment. TAS nurtures creativity, technical competence, and technological literacy, empowering all students to thrive in an ever-evolving technological landscape.
