Teacher in Charge: Mrs P. Simmonds, Mrs E. Smith.
Recommended Prior LearningIt is an advantage to have studied this subject in Year 11 but any student is able to take this course.
Students are given the opportunity to follow their own passion projects in order to create a textiles based outfit using Capsule Wardrobe as their design inspiration. Achievement Standards are offered (pathway for University entrance). Students are encouraged to work towards a minimum of 18 credits with the opportunity to gain more credits for the most dedicated and passionate learners. Students have an option of working on one, two or three projects depending on their own personal goals.
This course applies the technological design process and will be helpful to prepare students for a future in the field of fashion, and is part of a pathway to university approved credits at Year 13.
A student will be withdrawn from a standard if the teacher is not confident that the achievement of the standard is within the reach of the student or there is no evidence of the student attempting the assessment.
