7–8Technology 7–8 Syllabus (2023)
The new Technology 7–8 Syllabus (2023) is to be implemented from 2026 and will replace the Technology Mandatory 7–8 Syllabus (2017).
2025 – Plan and prepare to teach the new syllabus
2026 – Start teaching the new syllabus
School sectors are responsible for implementing syllabuses and are best placed to provide schools with specific guidance and information on implementation given their understanding of their individual contexts. Schools may choose to implement the new syllabus during the planning and preparation phase.
