Course Description: 

The study of Food Technology leads to an understanding of food and nutrition, the management of resources and the interaction between individuals and communities.

 This involves understanding: 

• The nutritional needs of the individual. 

• The nutrient content of food. 

• The practical skills which apply sound nutritional principles to the selection and preparation of meals and snacks. 

• Management principles of family resources. 

These processes will be studied in both a practical and theoretical manner. Students will be guided in the selection and preparation of meals and snacks. 

Materials Required: 

• A4 exercise book

• Tea towel, dish cloth, oven mitt, hand towel and hairnet 

Course Fees: $150  

Course Description:

Course Description: 

This course is designed for students interested in Textiles Technology and its application in designing projects. The study of Textile Technology provides students with a broad knowledge of textiles' properties, performance and uses. Fabrics, colouration yarns, fibres, design, and construction are all explored throughout their project work. Students are required to document their design ideas and experiences and make use of the contemporary technology available. Textile Technology is predominantly a practical course that allows students to be creative, independent learners and to explore functional and aesthetic aspects of textiles. 

Materials Required: 

• 1 x set of lead drawing pencil 

• 1 x set of watercolour pencils

• Students must provide their own fabric.  

Course Fees: $100 plus students must provide their own fabric

Students will have the chance to develop skills that will be directly transferable to employment in the engineering, welding, fitting and machining, carpentry, electrical and automotive sectors, potentially leading to job offers or apprenticeships at the completion of the program. 

Please speak to Mrs Isbester (VET Coordinator) about this option.
