Technological and applied studies

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.

In TAS, students develop knowledge, understanding and skills through a design and production process using a range of tools, materials and techniques in theory and practical lessons.

The continuum of technology learning is:

mandated from Kindergarten to Year 8 through Science and Technology K-6 and Technology Mandatory Years 7-8 syllabuses
based on students becoming increasingly sophisticated in their ability to apply knowledge, skills and understanding to design and produce solutions
optional for student specialisation in high school through a range of syllabuses addressing particular technologies and aspects of design.

Available courses include:

Technology Mandatory Years 7-8
Agricultural Technology Years 7-10
Design and Technology Years 7-10
Food Technology Years 7-10
Graphics Technology Years 7-10
Industrial Technology Years 7-10

We are very proud of our faculty and we are constantly looking for ways to improve what we do in our classrooms, kitchens and workshops. We strive to implement the latest teaching practices and we have a continuing focus on literacy strategies in all of our teaching programs.

We offer a comprehensive education program in all of the traditional areas of Industrial Arts and Home Economics. We strive to maintain a consistent, fair and exciting classroom through relevant learning experiences.

We believe that, each day our students experience the benefits of highly trained, caring and professional teachers as well as learning in well-organised classrooms and workshops.

We endeavour to follow the Glendale Technology High School motto and "Educate for Life".
