Design and Technology

Students at Aranmore have the opportunity to experience a variety of disciplines in this learning area.

In Middle School Year Eight and Year Nine students study Design and Technology and the aims are:

• to provide students with the basic knowledge and practical skills to manipulate wood, metal and plastic
• to introduce students to the discipline of technical drawing
• to ensure our students have a safe, encouraging environment in which to learn and build on their knowledge and skills.

Our aims are:

• to ensure our teaching and assessment practises follow those stipulated by the Curriculum Council of Western Australia
• to encourage the development of self-motivated learning and problem solving
• to encourage students to take the initiative in the design and construction processes of furniture making
• to provide students with opportunities and materials to produce a variety of furniture
• to ensure our students have a safe encouraging environment in which to develop practical skills with wood, metal and plastics.
