Senior Secondary Curriculum
YEAR 10 TECHNOLOGY ELECTIVES
APPLIED COMPUTING Applied computing focuses on the fundamental concepts of procedural programming where students undertake a number of programming challenges. Through these challenges they work through all stages of developing digital solutions, from investigating requirements, creating and designing the user interfaces, and programming the digital solution in an object orientated environment. Students investigate cybersecurity issues, contemporary digital constructs such as gaming, social media and online communication tools. PRODUCT DESIGN: MATERIALS Students investigate and make judgements on how the characteristics and properties of materials, systems, components, tools and equipment can be combined to create design solutions from wood, metal and plastics. Students establish detailed criteria for success, including sustainability considerations, and use these to evaluate ideas and solutions for end users. Students develop sequenced production plans and materials lists to share and communicate ideas by utilising sketching, isometric drawing and CAD (computer aided drawing). Students develop design folios for each product that document the processes and thinking behind designs and workshop products.
FOOD STUDIES
Students build on prior knowledge and develop skills in design and production by producing a variety of savoury and sweet dishes. They develop understanding of the functions of ingredients in a dish. Students investigate and evaluate issues to do with food and its role in food preparation and presentation. They also learn and practice food preservation techniques used in the food industry. Students develop, follow, produce and evaluate design briefs and have opportunities to develop their own dishes that meet specific standards. By the end of this course, students will be ready to undertake Units 1 and 2 in Food Studies.
