Design Technology

We aim to develop visual literacy so that we can appreciate the rich diversity of art and design within our world.

The Design and Technology curriculum at Avanti Fields supports students to develop creativity and imagination through designing and making products that solve real and relevant problems. Students will need to consider their own and others’ needs, wants and values so that they acquire a broad range of subject knowledge and become designers that are conscious of the environment.

Cooking and Nutrition is taught as a separate subject within Design and Technology. Students will learn how to cook competently and apply principles of nutrition and healthy eating, building an understanding of the functions of ingredients through recipes in a dedicated food environment. Lessons will instil a passion for cooking and skills learnt can be used outside of the classroom.
