Our Age of Anxiety is, in great part, the result of trying to do today's jobs with yesterday's tools. Marshall McLuhan - In Technology
Through the Technology and Enterprise Learning area, students develop the practical skills and values necessary to work with materials, systems and information to be able to respond, actively and effectively, to the challenges of a rapidly-changing world.
The major materials are those associated with Business, Hospitality, Childcare and Textiles. In modern, well-equipped rooms students apply technology processes to solve problems and meet challenges associated with the use of these materials, while they progress towards nationally recognised qualifications.
An important focus of this learning area is students’ understanding and effective use of information technologies and associated communication technologies. Information relating to a range of business needs is used, ranging from media to accounting data. Through continual use and adaptation of these technologies, in an up to date work environment, students are able to learn skills and transfer these to a variety of real life situations.
Students are given explicit opportunities to develop and practise enterprising behaviours such as initiative, resourcefulness, responsibility, adaptability and entrepreneurship as they design, make and appraise their creations.
