Technology

At Whangaparaoa College Learners are given opportunities to experience as many areas of Technology as possible through their schooling from year 7 to 13. The Technology curriculum encourages learners to work through the technology process to solve a problem or issue, through trial and error, to learn from their mistakes and move forward to improve their design outcome. This is done through a combination of practical skills and theory to gain knowledge and understanding to develop concepts and ideas to turn into reality.  

Technology areas we offer are: Food, Hospitality, Multi Materials, Building and Construction, Digital, DVC -design and visual communication, and Textiles Technology 

 All senior courses offer a range of Achievement Standards and in some cases Unit Standards. 

Technology Vision:
