Technology is 'Intervention by design' to expand human possibilities. Almost every aspect of daily life - food, health care, transport, communications, entertainment, our environment - uses technology.

Technology is part of the NZ curriculum and at Marist covers the three areas of Materials Technology, Food Technology and Digital Technology (Computing). We offer these THREE technologies at different year levels.

As a subject technology allows students to:

• Build on existing knowledge, skills, aspirations and values.  
• Learn through failure, recognise the value in alternatives and unexpected outcomes. 
• Take risks, challenge their thinking, show initiatives, make choices and be responsible for their own learning 
• Connect with specialists and experts within the community. 
• Work cooperatively and collaboratively 
  

This key learning is also incorporated into other subjects.
