Digital Technologies

Our department is based in E Block where we have six computer labs. There are five specialist teachers and two full-time technicians for support. Facilities include Wi-Fi access and data projectors in all rooms.

Digital Technologies offers students a variety of courses to suit their interests and career pathways such as skill development, project planning and management, computer programming, app creation and writing code to create interactive websites. The courses at Year 13 use a range of Achievement Standards from Digital Technology and Technology which provide students with a pathway into tertiary studies or employment

The Department is guided by its own vision statement: “We endeavour to ensure our DTG students are confident in using technology, engaged in a challenging curriculum that is focused on inquiry-based hands-on learning, and develop responsibility for their own educational success.”
