Technology 2019

2019 has been a remarkable year for our Technology students, where students in Food Studies, Computing, Software Development, Systems Engineering, VET Information Digital Media and Technology, and VET Furniture Making have learnt new skills that are transferable across the

curriculum and conveyed into the home and the workplace.

Students is Technology subjects had the opportunity to work with a range of materials including a wide range of food ingredients, materials including wood, metal, plastic, glass and fibres to explore and create products through investigation, analysis and design. Students ascertain they are the leaders in our future and technologies can play a crucial role in transforming the community they live in. Each

course provided students with a range of experiences to develop their understanding and skills. CAD Fusion 360 processes include Fibre Laser steel design, and Multicam timber projects.

Technology is making way for a new study design next year where VCE Applied Computing replaces the VCE Computing structure and introduces Robotics into the Information Technology stream. VET Furnishings makes way for a new location in 2020 where students will have up to date machinery aligning them with today’s industry.

Overall, Technology has been a triumph of student and community engagement and a showcase of effort. Thank you to all those involved in Technology week, Student Futures Evening as both were a result of staff and student’s dedication to the faculty.

On behalf of the Technology department, we wish all students an enriched year ahead and take with them further life experiences.

Renée Micallef

Learning Area Convenor Technology

I have had the pleasure of participating in various school activities this year including Technology Week during September 2nd – 6th, Academic assemblies and school masses. In particular, the Student Futures Day was a major success for the Technology department, as there was a vast amount of interest shown by future students and their families about studying Technology subjects in 2020. Through this leadership position, I have been able to develop my own interpersonal skills and demonstrate my leadership skills with the support of the Technology department. I would like to personally thank Renée for taking up the role of the new Technology Learning Area Convenor this year, along with the other Technology staff for their dedication to growing our smallest department into something that gives our

community critical skills and knowledge.
