Textiles Elective
Students are offered the opportunity in this course to further develop their interest, knowledge and skills in textiles and design. It is a great way for students to complement the learning obtained in the Technology Mandatory course and prepare themselves for studying Textiles Technology in Stage 5. This is a predominantly practical course, with students learning how to read and make patterns and design practical items such as boxer shorts and satchel bags. Work is completed in class, with homework rarely issued. Students are required to supply the materials for the construction of their practical designs.
