Textiles and Design

Textiles and Design provides opportunities for students to develop:

• knowledge and understanding of the functional and aesthetic requirements of textiles for a range of applications
• practical skills in design and manipulation of textiles through the use of appropriate technologies
• the ability to apply knowledge and understanding of the properties and performance of textiles to the development and manufacture of textile items
• skills in experimentation, critical analysis and the discriminatory selection of textiles for specific end-uses
• knowledge and understanding of Australian Textile, Clothing, Footwear and Allied Industries
• an appreciation of the significance of textiles in society.

A syllabus is a document that gives teachers an outline of what students are to be taught in a specific learning area.

The syllabus and other supporting materials for Textiles and Design 11-12 are available from the Board of Studies.
