Technology
Technology is intervention by design. To intervene by design, students have to design, apply and evaluate so that they become designers of successful, fit for purpose outcomes.
Technology/Hangarau at Rolleston College follows the design process to use creativity and critical thinking to produce a feasible outcome. Problem solving, in-depth research and stakeholder feedback is a key factor in meeting the needs of people, the environment and cultures.
These factors are used in all aspects of Technology and are met here in:
Food Product Design
Fabric Product Design
Digital Technology
Mechanical Engineering
Automotive
Hospitality (Catering and Barista)
Design & Visual Communication (DVC)
Hard Materials Technology (Wood and Metal)
Technology/Hangarau offers pathways in Vocational, Trades and University careers, so learners in the Senior school can choose the program that best meets their needs as they look to their futures beyond school.
