This course builds upon the skills developed in Level 2. It provides an opportunity for students to extend their knowledge of food and nutrition issues to a much deeper level of understanding. Food and Nutrition is particularly relevant for students wishing to further their studies at a tertiary level in the fields of Health Sciences, Sociology, Psychology or Education.
The main focus is to equip students with the skills and knowledge to critically examine the effect of health determinants on well-being at a personal, interpersonal and societal level. A particular focus will be on developing strategies to address the issues. Level 3 NCEA Food and Nutrition assessments require students to apply critical thinking skills using sociological, psychological and health promoting models, hence excellent communication and literacy skills are essential.
Students will examine the societal influences on food choices, food preparation and eating patterns.
Your work will be assessed throughout the year. There will be three internal standards and an external standard offered.
Standard AS91466 - Nutritional issues for New Zealand Society (internal) - UE Lit Reading
Standard AS91467 - Implement an action plan to address a nutritional issue affecting the well-being of New Zealand society (internal)
