Technological and applied studies (TAS) is mandatory for all students in Year 7 and 8. Students can also select from a range of elective TAS subjects.
At Berkeley Vale Campus we encourage students to consider and be aware of the impact that designers and the nature of design has upon the world.
The Technical and Applies Studies (TAS) faculty utilises both traditional and industry standard technologies to provide students with opportunities to engage in innovative and practical design activities.
TAS electives provide the opportunity to complete practical projects which are both challenging and rewarding. They allow students to develop sound practical skills which are an asset both personally and later in the workplace.
In TAS, students use a range of tools, materials and techniques in the design process and technological experiences through theory and practical lessons. As well as the mandatory study of technology, students can select from a range of elective TAS subjects.
The continuum of technology learning is:
- based on students becoming increasingly sophisticated in their ability to design and produce solutions for authentic needs and opportunities
- an option for student specialisation in high school through a range of syllabuses addressing particular technologies and aspects of design.
Available courses include:
- Agricultural Technology
- Food Technology
- Industrial Technology Building and Construction
- Industrial Technology Metal
- Industrial Technology Timber
- Textiles Technology
