Recommended Prior LearningReasonable success in Level 1 Design and Visual communication or with approval from the HOD, students with Level 1 Art credits may gain entry.
In Year 12, students tackle advanced design projects that demand greater originality, depth of thought, and technical execution. They extend their skills in conceptual development, iterative design, and advanced visual communication techniques, including digital and physical modelling. Students are expected to research widely, think critically about user needs and societal context, and demonstrate a personal design perspective in their work.
Creative and transferable skills are further strengthened, with an emphasis on resilience, independent inquiry, and the ability to critique and improve their own design practice. Students are prepared not only for excellence in NCEA Level 2 but also for future tertiary study or employment pathways, gaining the confidence to apply design processes and innovative thinking across many areas of life and work.
