At St Joseph’s, Technologies provide a framework for students to learn how to use technologies to create innovative solutions that meet current and future needs.
Students are encouraged to make decisions about the development and use of technologies, considering the impacts of technological change and how technologies may contribute to a sustainable future. The curriculum provides practical opportunities for students to be users, designers and producers of new technologies.
