Year 9 Food Technology (Fun with Foods)

Fun with Foods allows students to build on and develop skills taught in Year 8 and choose and prepare foods for enjoyment and good health.  Specifically the course focuses on home-made verses commercially prepared foods in regards to cost, nutritional value, time, taste and appearance, analysing personal food intake, interpreting food labelling, advertising of fast foods, preparing a range of fast foods and nutrition.  The Year 9 course is a hands-on practical course that promotes the development of independence, encourages working cooperatively in small or large groups and allows students to develop confidence within the kitchen environment.
