St Joseph’s Catholic High School is undertaking a redesign and development of its design and technology area. This part of the school has provided the classrooms needed for the teaching of woodwork, metalwork, electronic and construction since the school was opened in 1982.
It is now time to bring these areas up to date to provide 21st century learning environments for their students and teachers. The redesign of this area will allow the school to meet new expectations which come from the emphasis on STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics) education.
STEM is a worldwide refocus of education on these core areas of learning.
