Technology Education
Today's high school students are introduced to more information in one year than their great-grandparents were in a lifetime. They will work until the year 2040 and during that time, technological knowledge will double every 3 to 6 years. The changes in the workplace will mandate unique skills and the ability to re-learn on a daily basis. Britannia's Technology Department focuses on the following disciplines:
- Photography
- Graphic Arts
- Wood Technology
- Construction
- Power Technology
- Automotive Technology (click here (pdf) to find out details about the excellent ACE-IT Program which is offered at Britannia to students who want to want to become automotive service technicians)
- Electronics/Engineering

Britannia’s Ace-It Automotive Service Technician Students Take Bronze!!!!!
Congratulations to Alex Pyne and Leon Chandler as they took 3rd place in the BCAA/BCIT/FORD Student Auto Skills Competition on May 1st, 2010. They each took home scholarships worth $800 plus various prizes like tools, clothes, and other gifts from the sponsors. Enjoy the photos that Mr. Or took over the weekend.
Britannia's Technology Education courses depend on and support interdisciplinary integration of knowledge and skills. As we prepare students for success, we create opportunities for students to reinforce, apply, and transfer their knowledge and skills to a variety of problems. Often the most used skills are those that are considered basic. The importance of basic skills can not be overstated. In a recent study, the solid basic skills needed by all employees include: resource management, technical literacy, problem solving, problem identification, information gathering, and thinking skills. These are concepts emphasized in all our Technology Education courses here at Britannia. Check them out online in the Britannia Course Calendar.
