Design, build, cook and perform.

Last updated on 2 November 2026

Vision:

Synergy towards a Healthy & Innovative Department

Mission:

To develop Canberrans into Healthy, Innovative and Enterprising Learners

Our Canberrans design, build, cook and perform, and the Craft and Technology Department is where it all begins. In Art, students turn ideas into bold visual statements. In D&T, they engineer catapults and bridges from popsicle sticks and bring their designs to life through eSketching. In Nutrition and Food Science, they cook with purpose, creating nutritious dishes for family members with diabetes. In Music, they find their voice in ensemble.

Art & NFS Collaboration - Packaging Design

A Halloween-themed cupcake box with a clear window, decorated with black bat and skull cutout stickers, a cat-on-pumpkin illustration, and a circular "Spookalicious" logo featuring a ghost and crescent moon. The box has a dark brown jagged border at the bottom. In front of the box, on a white plate, sits a Halloween-themed baked treat with orange sponge, dark chocolate drizzle, and green pistachio crumbs, garnished with a bat-shaped food pick.
