[Design and Technology] Design and Tech at Yrs 7 & 8

[Paul Gorman]

Hi Katrina,
At Ringwood Secondary College, Y7 students take 1 semester in Materials & Technology & Y8 students 1 semester in DigiTech (digital studies)Classes are generally 4 x1 hour lessons over 2 weeks, from memory.
>From this, students can stream to Y9-Y12 Product Design & Technology, and also pick up (at middle school level) Y9 C.A.D., Y9 Robotics & Y10 Systems Engineering.
Hope this helps.
Regards,

Hi everyone,
 
  
 
Just wanting to gather a bit of information on Design &Tech and Digital technologies taught at Years 7 &8 at your schools.
 
  
 
Firstly, do you offer Design & Tech and/or Digital Technologies as a subject at Years 7 and 8.
 
  
 
Secondly, what time allocation is given to the subjects (eg. 3 x 45min periods a cycle).
 
  
 
We are looking to review our Year 7 and 8 program at my school and I would like to see the Technologies firmly embedded so would appreciate any information.
 
  
 
Kind Regards,
 
Katrina
