TAS -Technology & Applied Sciences

Where ideas become reality

At Salamah College, our Technology and Applied Sciences (TAS) Faculty provides students with practical, hands-on learning experiences that bridge creativity, design, and real-world problem-solving. Through courses in Technology, Design and Technology, Food Technology, and Computing Technology, students develop the technical skills, critical thinking, and innovation mindset needed for future careers in design, engineering, digital technology, and the food industry.

By designing, creating, and testing their own projects, students gain confidence in their abilities and develop problem-solving skills that are highly valued in today’s fast-changing world.

The TAS Faculty is committed to:

  1. Providing a hands-on, project-based learning environment that encourages creativity and innovation.
  2. Aligning with the latest NESA syllabus to ensure students develop industry-relevant skills.
  3. Equipping students with problem-solving and critical-thinking skills for real-world applications.
  4. Integrating digital technology, coding, and design principles into student learning.
  5. Promoting teamwork, collaboration, and resilience in project-based tasks.
  6. Encouraging students to explore STEM pathways through engineering, digital media, and food sciences.

Technology & Applied Sciences Curriculum Overview

Our curriculum follows the NSW Technology & Applied Sciences Syllabus, ensuring students develop essential technical, digital, and design skills across Stage 4, Stage 5, and Stage 6.

Stage 4 (Years 7 & 8) – Introduction to Technology & Design

Stage 4 students explore a variety of technological disciplines, gaining hands-on experience with tools, materials, and processes.

Design & Technology

Developing creative thinking through small-scale projects, such as digital designs, simple structures, and functional prototypes.

Food Technology

Learning about nutrition, meal planning, and food preparation through practical cooking experiences.

Computing Technology

Introduction to coding, digital design, and website development.

Through these foundational projects, students gain confidence in planning, measuring, assembling, and troubleshooting, setting the stage for more advanced learning.

Stage 5 (Years 9 & 10) – Expanding Creativity & Technical Skills

In Stage 5, students take a deeper dive into design, technology, and digital innovation, choosing elective subjects that match their interests.

Design & Technology:

Working through the full design process – from brainstorming and research to prototyping and final production.
Using wood, metal, and digital media to create sustainable product designs, ergonomic furniture, and practical innovations.

Food Technology:

Hands-on experience in cooking, food safety, and meal planning.
Preparing balanced meals and international dishes while learning about nutrition and flavour profiles.

Computing Technology:

Introduction to coding, app development, and digital media design.
Projects include website creation, game development, and digital art.

Students work on real-world design challenges, applying their knowledge in practical ways to develop engineering, problem-solving, and collaborative skills.

Key Learning Highlights

Engineering & Design Projects: Creating functional prototypes and testing designs.
Culinary Science & Nutrition: Experimenting with food chemistry, meal presentation, and industry trends.
Digital & Computing Innovation: Designing apps, interactive media, and automated systems.

Students graduate with practical skills, a strong portfolio of work, and a deep understanding of industry trends, preparing them for further studies or careers in STEM, hospitality, and design fields.
