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.

Course Overview

Term 1
The students will be selecting a stakeholder and conducting extensive research into eating habits and food choices. In the practical sessions the students will be looking at what makes a 'meal'and cooking the various components involved.

Term 2
The students will be completing a practical based assessment on Lemon Meringue Pie. This involves testing and trialing for efficiency and minimal wastage.

Term 3
Conceptual Design and turning it into an edible reality. The students must design and make the dish to suit their stakeholder's needs

Term 4
External on functional modelling. The students must write a report about their journey with a focus on how testing and trialing reduces 'risk'.

Recommended Prior Learning
