Through a range of issues which I won’t go into here we are, like many schools, losing many of our traditional technology subjects… we are a multi campus college so seniors and juniors seldom get the connections… of course classes won’t run with less than 25… so PDT has not run for a few years in either wood or textiles This year year 8 Textiles was removed… so we have 6 months of Textiles before electives at Year 9… I won’t go into the blocking…. but arghhh… we have not had Year 9 run for a few years either… due to decisions beyond our control.
Even Food tech has dropped numbers

I am wanting to think outside the box… ideas to re develop technology… and inspire students to think creatively….
Do I start to think of materials tech…. and embrace resistant and non resistant in the same classes, but focus on design thinking, and product development….
How have people approached these changes coming from above…. I want to see our area grow, so took on the Domain Leadership this year…. but feel I need some fresh ideas to take to the leadership team.
I am comfortable teaching wood and metal (although it has been many years) I can also see the design approach working too...

Suzanne Arnott
