Technologies


Kaua e rangiruatia te hāpai o te hoe; e kore tō tātou waka e ū ki uta 

Do not lift the paddle out of unison; our canoe will never reach the shore.

Technology is an essential learning area that draws on knowledge from other subjects and provides opportunities to apply that learning into real life contexts. With its focus on design thinking, technology education supports students to be innovative, reflective and critical in designing new models, products, software, systems and tools to benefit people while taking account of their impact on cultural, ethical, environmental and economic conditions. 

The aim is for students to develop broad technological knowledge, practices and dispositions that will equip them to participate in society as informed citizens and provide a platform for technology-related careers. Students learn that technology is the result of human activity by exploring stories and experiences from their heritage, from Aotearoa New Zealand’s rich cultural environment, and from contemporary examples of technology. As they learn in technology, students draw on and further develop the key competencies.
