YEAR 10
Digital Technologies
Digital Technologies investigates how computers work using both physical 'hands-on-building' style projects and projects with programming. this subject is an engaging and interactive look at coding and how to make hardware interactive with software. Students build their digital design and programming skills sequentially and organically as theoretical understanding develops. this subject provides fun and challenging ways to learn how Digital Technologies fits into our ever-changing world.
Esports
Esports is rumoured to be the next Olympic Sport. This is a new subject to help capture the interest and involvement of students. With direct pathways now to university, Esports is an exciting, fun and interesting way to work through the mapped Australian Curriculum. Students undertake three distinct components of Esports: Gaming as a Professional, Casting (known as broadcasting or commentating), and Production (networking, computer building and streaming). Importantly, there is a direct pathway to University from 2022 (starting with an Esports Diploma).
A Windows based Laptop is required for this subject. They will use their own laptop in class every day to complete their learning.
YEAR 11 & 12
