TAS Faculty

RATIONALE Technology-GRAPHICS, seeks to raise students’ awareness of the interaction between technology, industry, society and the environment, and to develop their ability to make value judgements about issues, decisions and problems arising from this interaction. Students achieve this by applying practical experiences to the study of the technology, management and organisation of industry.

The current Australian industrial workforce is diverse in nature, gender-inclusive and better educated through ongoing training and development.

Increasing retention rates within NSW schools have resulted in a need to link the senior school curriculum more closely with post-school vocational education and work options. This syllabus acknowledges the need to strengthen such links. Through a process of observing and analysing industry practice and through personal practical experiences, students will gain knowledge and skills together with appropriate attitudes about technology and industry.

The course has been designed to be inclusive of the needs, interests and aspirations of students and it provides opportunities for them to learn explicitly about gender issues relating to the industry studied.

At Holsworthy High School, industry standard software such as AutoCAD Lt , Adobe Illustrator and Photoshop are used to assist in achieving these outcomes.
