Technology Domain Update

Technology students are back and busy in the classroom. Students have begun the year enthusiastic, passionate and eager to get creative within their technology classes.

Year 11 Food Studies

Year 11 Food Studies students have started their year by investigating the factors that influence the emergence of different food systems, food products and food practices around the world.

The students completed an investigation task that required them to choose an ancient ingredient and prepare a modern-day recipe that showcases their selected ancient ingredient. They have begun the year showing a real dedication towards their learning.

Year 10 Food Studies

Our Year 10 Food Studies students have been putting theory into action, whipping up eggs benedict. They made the hollandaise sauce from scratch, poached eggs to their liking and topped with fillings of their choice.

Students have shown real skill this year, also successfully producing a passionfruit soufflé. Some students got creative and made their dish with a lemon flavour.

Year 9 Food Studies

Our Year 9 students used the microwave to cook a delicious butter chicken. The students gave great feedback on the practical task. If your child is doing Year 9 food Studies, why not ask them to cook this for dinner one night? - Jessica Mazur, Food Studies teacher

Design and Technology Wood

The Design and Technology Wood course aims to teach independence and problem-solving skills and develop confidence in the safe use of tools and equipment.

Our Year 7 students’ creativity and enthusiasm in Design and Technology has been a joy. Using a product design process, they made identification tags out of plastic, safely using the portable drill. Their use of colour and shape has been inspiring.

Students are now working on an open wooden container. Each product is unique and the function varies. Some students want it to hold kitchen utensils or tools found in the shed, while others have made smaller containers to hold makeup brushes.

Our Year 9 students are making attractive small containers with lids that feature beautiful Australian timbers such as Jarrah and Victorian Ash.

Year 10 students have spent three weeks drawing and designing a small piece of furniture and are now excited to produce it. - Robin Panousieris, Product Design & Technology (Wood) teacher.
