DT Intent
In Design and Technology, our intent is to empower students to become the best they can be by developing their creativity, practical skills and problem-solving abilities. Through real-world challenges, collaborative projects, and reflective practice, students will build resilience, take responsibility, embrace challenges and thrive as part of a team. We teach through hands-on, practical activities because this allows students to connect theoretical knowledge with real applications. Making things, testing ideas, and solving problems develops a sense of achievement and builds self-confidence. Students see the results of their own efforts and understand how their learning has a tangible impact. Failure is a natural and necessary part of the design process. By allowing students to test, reflect, and improve their designs, we help them develop resilience.
