Year 7 students enjoyed a practical Agriculture Lesson in perfect Autumn sunshine on Tuesday afternoon. 

Ag forms part of the Stage 4 Technology Course which is about finding solutions to meet people’s needs. It involves learning about a wide range of technologies through practical experience in designing, constructing, evaluation, using computers, marketing and managing. Students will learn new skills, make decisions about what to do and how to do it.

During Year 7 and 8 students may complete up to eight 'Design Briefs' in different areas such as Digital Technologies, Agriculture and Food Technologies, Engineered Systems and Materials Technologies. This can involve projects involving: Wood, Agriculture, Food, Textiles, Photo & Digital Media, Computational Thinking and Computer Programming & Coding.

Students will learn how to plan projects step by step and how to solve particular problems. Computer technology will form an important part of these context areas. It's a diverse course, which we hope all students will really enjoy.
