Technological and Applied Studies
Our aim as a TAS faculty here at Smith's Hill is to provide every student with engaging experiences that foster a sense of personal achievement and success. Encouraging and promoting a sense of usefulness and purpose while fostering self-driven, productive learning, drives our faculty.
We strive to have all our students happily engaged in learning activities that allow students the freedom to explore a variety of technologies relating to content areas including designing and making, textiles and food production, timber and metal technologies, information and communications and 3D printing technologies.
The TAS faculty looks to maximise the opportunity to provide quality teaching and learning that optimises the potential for students to demonstrate their creative abilities. Often students look towards TAS subjects for further development of their self-esteem through practical skill development.
The TAS faculty embraces the responsibility to provide a balanced curriculum where practical, project centred learning opportunities broaden the horizons for students and positively contribute to their all–round education.
