TAS Faculty
"A designer knows he has achieved perfection not when there is nothing left to add, but when there is nothing left to take away." Antoine de Saint-Exupéry,
As the term comes to a close, it’s a great time to reflect on the incredible learning experiences and hands-on activities our students have engaged in across our TAS faculty. From Food Technology to Engineering design, students have had the opportunity to develop essential skills, apply their creativity, and explore industry-relevant experiences.
A Taste of Hospitality – Year 10 Food Technology
Our Year 10 Food Technology students recently participated in an immersive hospitality experience, A Taste of Hospitality. This initiative provided students with a real-world insight into the hospitality industry, allowing them to showcase their culinary skills in a simulated setting. Students worked collaboratively to prepare and serve a delicious meal, gaining first hand experience in food preparation and teamwork. This was an invaluable opportunity for students to enhance their confidence in the kitchen and understand the complexities of the hospitality industry.
Practical Experiences in Food Technology – Years 9 & 10
Across Years 9 and 10 Food Technology, students have engaged in a variety of practical activities designed to develop their skills in food preparation, nutrition, and meal presentation. Students have been refining their techniques and broadening their culinary knowledge. These hands-on experiences have not only strengthened their practical abilities but also highlighted the importance of food safety.
Engineering Creativity – Year 7 Technology Mandatory and Support D&T
Our Year 7 Technology Mandatory and Support D&T students took to the skies this term with an exciting kite design project. Through this task, students explored the principles of aerodynamics, material selection, and structural integrity. They applied problem-solving skills to create functional and visually appealing kites, which were then put to the test in a flight challenge. This project fostered innovation, teamwork, and an appreciation for the engineering behind everyday objects.
It has been a dynamic and rewarding term within the TAS faculty, and we are incredibly proud of the achievements of our students. We look forward to seeing their continued enthusiasm and creativity in the coming term!
