Craft Design and Technology

Welcome to the Craft Design and Technology Department

In the last few years, the department has addressed the skills shortage in our country by introducing skills for work which has proved to be extremely suuccessful. The traditional approach to Technical Education in schools has been overtaken by the rapidly changing needs of our technological society.  With the continuing demand for traditional crafts and trades and the rapid rate of technological change, there has been a marked growth in demand for skills transfer and flexibility.  The aim of the department is to interest young people in crafts and in the practical application of technological skills and techniques, grounded in realistic design and problem-solving situations.
