Practical Arts

To realize our Vision we encourage students to strive to reach their potential. To do so, they must understand the relevance of what they learn in the classroom. Industrial Arts and Human Ecology programming provides settings for students to develop and practise skills for daily living, while integrating knowledge from other subject areas.

Practical Arts

The Practical Arts program ensures that students graduate with the skills necessary in their personal lives, while pursuing fulfilling careers. Allowing students to experience a combination of Human Ecology and Industrial Arts affords them substantial hands-on training and valuable life-long skills.

Industrial Arts and Technology

Industrial Arts education provides practical skills training with a focus on design process, problem solving, technological literacy and teamwork. Students are required to use tools, materials, and technological processes to research, plan, build and test projects in specific disciplines. It also prepares students for real-life situations at home and at work.

Human Ecology

Human Ecology curricula includes Foods and Nutrition, Family Studies and Clothing and Textiles. This programming prepares students for independent living and focuses on improving quality of life. It increases awareness about potential careers in health and nutrition, fashion and design, culinary arts and early childhood education.
