Design and Technology (DT)<\/h2>

Our DT curriculum aims to equip\u00a0students with the knowledge, skills and attitudes they need to become successful, innovative young designers and makers.\u00a0By building on prior experience,\u00a0students progressively develop technical skills and practical expertise. They are encouraged to think creatively, imaginatively\u00a0and be ambitious in their design ideas.<\/p>

They are given opportunities to solve real and relevant problems within a variety of contexts,\u00a0considering their own\u00a0and others\u2019 needs, wants and values. They learn to recognise the importance of design and technology in the real world and its relevance in everyday life.\u00a0<\/p>

They are given opportunities to learn about and be inspired by designs and designers past and present who have impacted on life across the world. Through the design, make, evaluate process,\u00a0students are guided to develop skills of team work, communication, resilience and reflectiveness through\u00a0problem solving.<\/p>

They learn to use knowledge and understanding from other curriculum areas including mathematical, scientific, computing and art skills,\u00a0applying them in relevant and practical contexts. In this way, we aspire for\u00a0our students to become articulate, dynamic thinkers able to approaching new\u00a0challenges with confidence and enthusiasm.<\/p>
