Technological systems draw on knowledge of how to do things. They involve taking something, changing it, and producing a result.
At Mater Christi, students are provided the opportunity to follow and understand a design process, which allows them to identify a need, design a solution and produce either a prototype or final product.
Our technology-based units often allow students to work in teams and always have a ‘client’ as the central point of the educational process being undertaken.
As part of the curriculum offerings, students experienced a large variety of options. These included, Year 7 Digital Technologies students designing technological solutions to problems ranging from interactive recycling bins to Apps designed to support new students transitioning to the College. In Year 8 Food Technology students created a pizza using the design cycle and the Australian guide to healthy eating. In Year 9 all students were introduced to the benefits of wearable technologies.
Year 10 and VCE Technology units took a similar approach which included a focus on service and hospitality to others, whilst developing products for clients.
