FOOD FOR LIFE

THE NATURE OF THE COURSE

FOOD FOR LIFE follows the study of the Food Technology syllabus, whereby students undertake educational and practical experiences that relate to meeting food needs and wants. This course is relevant to "the whole of life” as it involves an understanding of the provision of food, how our bodies have been designed to function using the nutrients provided by food and how we can choose and use food domestically, commercially and globally.

The FOOD FOR LIFE course aims to develop an understanding about food systems and skills that enable students to make informed decisions and carry out responsible actions. Students will also develop an appreciation of the importance of food to the wellbeing of the individual and to the social and economic future of Australia. The course provides many opportunities to design and prepare a wide variety of foods and develops in the students advanced skills in food preparation and presentation.
