Our Design and Technology curriculum is all about sparking innovation and ambition in our student. We focus on practical skills and creative thinking to prepare them for the future.

We make it a point to dive into the stories of local success learning from individuals and companies who’ve made a mark through innovation. Through hands-on projects and real-world challenges, we aim to ignite ambition in our students encouraging them to dream big and run their ideas into reality. Our goal is to equipped our students with the skills and mindset to become the inventors and leaders of tomorrow.
