Students are now being given the opportunity to work through a Technology Achievement Standard. They will work through a product development design process to upcycle charity shop jeans into a storage item.


Rangiuru Mohi (year 12) has finished an assessment to create a garment using advanced skills. Year 12 students have been learning to use challenging fabrics, using interfacing to structure waistbands and darts to provide shape.

Year 10 Digital Technology

Our Year 10 Digital Technology class took part in a two hour education session at the Makerspace Public Library. Students took the role of film producer, cameraman and more as they developed an idea into a storyline, script and then produced a stop motion animation movie.

Year 12 Digital Technology

Year 12DIG students are taking part in the Evolocity Challenge with workshops and build days taking place at Toi Ohomai throughout the Term. What is Evolocity? Electric vehicles that are fast, they are fun, they are the future. EVOLOCITY is about fast forwarding that future. It’s about stimulating innovation and growing awareness of the advantages of electric transport in a sector which may be the global growth sector of the 21st Century.

High school teams are equipped with an electric bike componentry kit. During the course of the year they design & build their own electric vehicles. At the end of the year they bring their vehicles to a motorsport park for some fun competitions. The end of year event also features demonstrations and test drives of electric bikes, go karts, motor bikes and cars, educating the public as to what is available and dispelling myths around the performance capabilities of EVs.
