Technological & Applied Sciences

The Industrial Arts Department of Bellingen High School has a proud tradition of excellence in both the senior and junior sections of the school. There are two main reasons for this. The first is the staff who teach the various subjects. All of our teachers are highly experienced in their fields which include Technology, Industrial Technology - Wood / Metal, Graphics Technology, Engineering Studies and Senior Industrial Technology - Wood / Metal. Our students' achievements in both the School Certificate and the Higher School Certificate are recognised State wide and many students have gone on to complete TAFE and University courses with distinction.

The other reason for our tradition of excellence is the Industrial Arts facility itself. Our workshops are set up and maintained with some of the latest machines and equipment available which enable our students to produce projects that most other schools could not even contemplate making. This is very obvious around HSC marking time when our Industrial Technology projects are proudly displayed by the students who designed and constructed them.
