Workshop Technology
Students have the option of taking three distinct Workshop Technology courses in Years 12 and 13. These subjects offer valuable, hands-on learning experiences that develop problem-solving, design thinking, technical capability, independence, and confidence in the use of materials, tools, machinery, and processes. They enable students to create purposeful, high-quality outcomes while building practical skills that support future pathways in trades, engineering, design, construction, manufacturing, and other technology-related fields. As with any practical workshop environment, students will be exposed to a level of risk when using tools, machinery, materials, and equipment. To manage these risks, all Workshop Technology courses include safety inductions, explicit teaching of safe workshop practices, and ongoing monitoring by Technology staff. This includes correct tool and machinery use, hazard identification, risk management, and responsible behaviour in practical learning environments. Technology teachers reserve the right to determine whether a student may use particular tools or machinery, based on their professional judgement of the student’s ability to work safely and responsibly.
