Year 12 Food Technology
Course Description
Teacher in Charge: Mr O. Webb.
Students will develop a portfolio of design ideas through research and will use their ideas to design and manufacture a convenience meal for a stakeholder. Food testing, sensory evaluations and product design, food hygiene and safety make up this course.
Food Technology is a growing fast collaborative subject and is highly desired by Universities. If you need to know the difference between food tech and hospitality or if you have any queries regarding food technology, please email [email protected]
We ask that a contribution of $130 is made to cover the take-home component of food for students selecting this course.
