Technologies and Applied Studies (TAS)
Leader of Learning TAS – Mr Clint Crispin
The Technologies and Applied Studies (TAS) curriculum allows students to gain skills and knowledge towards a range of practical and theoretical tasks. These types of tasks provide opportunities to engage in enjoyable, interesting and problem-solving learning experiences. This can involve the construction of furniture and timber products, engineering new designs, fabricating outdoor structures and products, producing movies and animations, as well as cooking up some tasty treats. Students participate in activities that encourage the use of the design process, creative thinking and imagination completed both independently and in collaboration with others.
