TECHNOLOGY
At Saint Peter Chanel Catholic School children are involved in learning how to develop design thinking, that is to be innovative, reflective and critical in designing new models, products, software, systems and tools to benefit people, while taking account of their impact on cultural, ethical, environmental and economic conditions.
There are three strands and five technological areas:
Goals for all students
Technology in action at SPC
In 2020, we held our annual Mission Day to raise money for different mission charities. Students spent Term 3 and 4 learning about the technology process and how to design and create a product that meets a need. These products were then sold at our Mission Day market. The learning from this inquiry was a huge success and so was the fundraising with over $5,000 raised.
The Minister of Education has advised that schools may have 2 teacher-only days to address the new maths and literacy programmes. SPC staff are joining other Catholic schools on Monday, 19th May and Monday 14th July (not Friday,15th August) as previously advertised. The days will be facilitated by advisers from the Ministry of Education.
