Technical and Applied Studies (TAS)

Technological and applied studies (TAS) is mandatory for all students in Year 7 and 8 (Stage 4). The stage 4 Technology Mandatory course, is the foundation which illustrates the role of practical experience and design and production in the development of technological knowledge, understanding and skills.

In TAS, students develop knowledge, understanding and skills through a design and production process using a range of tools, materials and techniques in theory and practical lessons.

The continuum of technology learning is:

mandated from Kindergarten to Year 8 through Science and Technology K-6 and Technology Mandatory Years 7-8 syllabuses
based on students becoming increasingly sophisticated in their ability to apply knowledge, skills and understanding to design and produce solutions
optional for student specialisation in high school through a range of syllabuses addressing technologies and aspects of design.
