Welcome to the Digital Technologies course, an essential program designed to empower students with the knowledge, skills, and confidence to navigate and shape our increasingly digital world. In alignment with the New Zealand Curriculum and Te Marautanga o Aotearoa, this course will foster the development of critical and creative thinkers who can use, understand, and create digital technologies to succeed in both further education and the evolving workforce.

By the end of this course, students will have developed proficiency in using various digital tools and platforms. They will gain a deep understanding of the underlying principles of digital systems, including hardware, software, and networks. Students will acquire skills in coding and programming, which will enhance their problem-solving and logical thinking abilities. Additionally, they will learn about data management, cybersecurity, and the ethical implications of digital technologies. 

Students will also have opportunities to create and innovate by designing digital solutions to real-world problems. This will be achieved through collaborative projects where they will learn to work effectively in both physical and virtual environments. The course aims to produce confident, adaptable learners who can thrive in a digital economy.
