Technology is intervention by design: the use of practical skills, along with thinking and decision making, to develop projects that address real life needs and realise potential opportunities. Adaptation and innovation are at the heart of technological practice. Quality outcomes result from thinking and practices that are informed, critical, and creative.

At NPBHS, within the learning area of Technology, our students engage in a range of dynamic learning experiences. We aim to develop creative, innovative and resourceful students.
A quality technological outcome (final project) is paramount and is achieved through technological practice.
This practice involves students applying a range of skills;

  • research
  • designing
  • project planning
  • making
  • evaluating projects against specifications

 This is achieved through effective teaching of relevant knowledge, skills and design development.
