Craft and Technology Department comprises of 3 subjects area – Design & Technology, Home Economics and Visual Art.

The 3 subjects are coursework based where students learn the design process through experiential learning. Through the subjects, pupils are challenged to think out of the box to be creative to design and produce products, art pieces and healthy meals.

The department aims to develop in all our pupils critical thinking skills, creativity, life skills and appreciation of design, aesthetics and food technology in their day-to-day life.

For the Secondary 1 programme, The 3 subjects - Art, Homec and D&T, are integrated. The pupils work on “Cultural Fusion” where they learn the various cultures and different aspects in setting up a restaurant. They then used their knowledge to design art pieces, products and healthy meal. As the finale of the programme, students set up restaurant in their own classes to serve healthy meals to invited guests.

For the Secondary 2 programme, the 3 subjects are taught independently. For D&T, the curriculum is designed to focus on developing the products for particular user. For Homec, the curriculum focuses on problem based learning where by students are given cases on certain health condition to work on suitable healthy meal. For Art, the theme given is “Saving Gaia”. The curriculum is planned such that students learnt can be developed to understand user needs better and to learn about protecting the animals to create a better environment to live in. At the end of the year, an exhibition is set up to showcase students’ good works.

For the Upper Secondary Programme, The 3 subjects are taught independently to prepare the pupils for the GCE ‘N’ and ‘O’ Level Examinations. The subjects are coursework based whereby pupils are to design artefact, art pieces and nutrition meals for the subject, Design & Technology, Visual Art and Food & Nutrition respectively. Field Trips and enrichment classes are organized to enhanced students’ learning.

In Dunman Sec, we created the Design Nexus, a space to inspire creation, in 2003. The Nexus, also commonly known as, is used as a studio and an exhibition area to showcase pupils’ good works. This space will take on different look every year. A group of pupils of different ages who are interested in design volunteered their time to design and construct this space yearly. They are also trained to be facilitators to facilitate exhibition that is held yearly that is opened for all schools.

Since 2007, groups of students including the graduated students have volunteered to paint murals on the walls of the D&T block. The murals painted take on different themes such as colours, technology, architecture design, product design and font design. The murals painted gave the D&T block a brand new look and provide inspiration to many pupils. The project is still on-going and expanding to different parts of the D&T block.

After PRIME, the kitchens and the art rooms have taken a new and vibrant look to provide a conducive learning space for the students.
