Technologies

At St Mary's College, we believe the technology subjects play an important role in equipping our students with the skills they need to succeed in a rapidly evolving job market.

Our programs are designed to give students hands-on experience with the latest tools and technologies, and to help them develop the critical thinking and problem-solving skills they will need in their future careers.

Within the Technology department, we offer variety of programs and units to suit the needs and interests of students at different stages of their schooling.

Starting with our Flex program for Primary students, we provide exposure to Digital Technology, Food Technology, and Design and Technology.

In Year 7, all students will experience a term of these subjects, enabling informed choices for the following year.

Year 8 offers semester-long units, and Year 9 and 10 build on the skills developed in earlier years.

As students enter Year 10, they are preparing themselves for possible careers in the Technologies related industries. We offer a range of subjects in Year 10 that are intended to assist the students prepare themselves to the best of their ability.
