Year 10 Food Technology

Students will learn to research, design and develop food products following the design process as a food technologist. As this is a 12 month course, it is essential for students to have a strong interest in learning about new ingredients and flavour profiles to create food products. The course focuses on the development of food products through research, analysis of existing products and design work. A high level of self-discipline will be required as kitchen safety will be a priority at all times. Students taking this subject must wear covered shoes during all practical lessons (NO sandals allowed), additionally all long hair must be tied behind the face.

By the end of this course students will have completed the following three food units. Developing a Canteen Lunch Product, Exploring Foods from Multi-cultures and Developing a Unique Sweet Product. Students will also complete a class trip to the Auckland Chelsea Sugar Bay Factory.
