As we begin another dynamic and exciting year in Technology at Damascus College, it's important to recognise the vital role Technology subjects play in supporting both the learning and wellbeing of our students.
Through our Woodwork, Metalwork, Textiles, Food, Electronics and IT curriculum, students gain essential technical skills while also developing creativity, problem-solving abilities, and personal growth. These subjects contribute significantly to a well-rounded education, preparing students to be innovative, confident, and resourceful as they face future challenges.
Beyond the classroom, creativity continues to flourish at Damascus. Our lunchtime clubs provide students with a valuable chance to explore new interests and expand their skills. Whether you're a new Year 7 student eager to get hands-on or a more experienced creator, all students are welcome to join the Technology clubs, led by our passionate teachers.
