Our goal is to provide the best in Technology Education.

To achieve this ESHS provides opportunities for students to use Technology provided by the school to solve real world problems.

All programs are designed to develop students' ability to design, produce and evaluate quality solutions that respond to identified opportunities and needs. Our programs enable students to justify solutions and to responsibly, safely and creatively use and select materials, tools and techniques. Project work forms the basis of every unit studied.
Specifics for each stage of study are as follows:

Stage 4 Years 7 and 8

Technology (Mandatory)
In Year 7 the following Design Solutions will be completed from:

1. Built Environments
Design Specialisations –Storage systems 

2. Products
Design Specialisations - Industrial Design and production of an educational toy

In Year 8 the following Design Solutions will be completed from:

1. Built Environments
Design Specialisations – Structural design principles of framework structures

2. Information and Communication
Design Specialisations – Communication Systems Design

Stage 5 Years 9 and 10

Graphics Technology

Students will experience opportunities to design and draw images using techniques including technical illustration, CAD, engineering, architectural and landscape drawing, cabinet drawing and Graphic media. All students will learn manual techniques using a drawing board as well as computer assisted drafting.

Industrial Technology - Furnishings

Students will experience opportunities to develop knowledge, understanding and practical skills in relation to timber and associated industries.

The students will make a number of practical projects using tools and machines along with a variety of timbers and wood products.

Industrial Technology – Metal
Students will experience opportunities to develop knowledge, understanding and practical skills in relation to metal and associated industries.

The students will make a number of practical projects using tools and machines along with a variety of metals and metal products.

Information and Software Technology

Students will experience opportunities to develop knowledge, understanding, confidence and creativity in analysing, designing, developing and evaluating information and software technology solutions. Students will undertake a number of Design projects in areas including, data handling, hardware, Issues, past, current and emerging Technologies, people and software. Students will also have the opportunity to undertake projects in Authoring and Multimedia, Database Design, Internet and Website development

Stage 6 Years 11 and 12

Engineering Studies

Engineering Studies offers students knowledge, understanding and skills in aspects of engineering that include communication (including drawing), engineering reports, engineering mechanics/hydraulics, engineering materials, historical/societal influences, engineering electricity/electronics, and the scope of the profession by investigating a range of applications and fields of engineering

Industrial Technology

Industrial Technology consists of practical project work and an Industry Study that develop a broad range of skills and knowledge related to the industry focus area chosen, and an introduction to industrial processes and practices. In their HSC year students will be required to complete a major project and associated work portfolio which documents their designs planning, research, materials selection, construction techniques, problem solving, marketing and evaluation.

Design and Technology

Design and Technology consists of practical project work and a study of emerging technologies and innovations. In their HSC year students will design and make a major project with an accompanying portfolio which documents their designs planning, research, materials selection, construction techniques, problem solving, marketing and evaluation. This major project can be a product system or an environment, entirely of the student’s choice. Students also study areas such as design theory, Australian designers, innovations and emerging technology.
Information Processes and Technology

Students will experience opportunities to develop knowledge, understanding and practical skills in relation to effective higher order thinking skills necessary for further education, work and everyday life.

Students are provided with an opportunity to; collect, analyse and organize information, communicate ideas and information through the use of Technology

Construction (VET)

This is a practical course that provides students with the opportunity to obtain nationally recognised vocational qualifications. The course comprises core units focusing on industry awareness, communicating with others, planning for work, quality principles, OH&S, and introductory tools and techniques. Students can then study option units available in general construction and civil construction, including concreting, bricklaying and carpentry. Students must also undertake work placement in an industry situation.

Information Technology (VET)

This is a practical course that provides students with the opportunity to obtain nationally recognised vocational qualifications. Students will have the opportunity to acquire a range of technical, practical, personal and organizational skills valued within and beyond the workplace. This course is designed to develop competencies in numerous information and computer Technology environments that can be used for career opportunities. Students must also undertake work placement in an industry situation.
