Technology and Commerce Day
Technology and Commerce Day at Santa Maria College is held at the end of Term 2 to coincide with the end of the financial year. The subjects we are involved in include those in the media, accounting, business and information technology area. In classes, students have been participating in codebreaker games, photography treasure hunts, guest speakers and class activities. We work to highlight the role of technology in society. Â
