Students will begin to develop practical food skills while being introduced to the food technology process. They will learn food hygiene, how to work safely in the kitchen, simple food preparation and cooking skills (e.g. boiling, cutting, grating, measuring, mixing) and how to follow a recipe. This will help equip them with fundamental life skills to cook a healthy meal. Concepts of attitudes and values, Hauora (wellbeing), health promotion and socio-ecological perspectives will be considered.
