Key Goals
- The Design & Technology Academy
Design & Technology always has been and always will be a way provide a means for clothing the community and for sale on a wider market. Our Textiles students will learn the latest methods in fabric design and preparation and share their knowledge with those most in need.
- Design & Technology in the local community
KDF Design & Technology students will travel to the surrounding areas to talk to the communities. Students will understand the needs of the people and provide the foundation for small, locally run village based textile businesses for local use and export. Our students will learn in an academic situation and with a 'hands on' approach.
- Dress in style
Fabric design is essential for personal use and for export. A good looking garment will make the wearer feel good and return to the designer for more. Our students will study the latest techniques in fabric design and maintenance.
- Monthly demonstrations
We will encourage our students to promote their techniques for improving the life of fabrics and our young designers to be proud of their creativity with monthly exhibitions in the academy and the villages and towns.
- Manufacturing
Our students will visit manufactures of sewing machines, looms for weaving and cotton production to understand the complexities of producing fabric to wear, bed coverings and toweling. An invitation to business owners to come to the academy and explain the problems faced in the production of good quality textiles and how they overcome them will be a regular feature of each term.
