Level 1 Food Technology 2025
Course Description
Teacher in Charge: Robyn Hunn.
In Level 1 Food Technology, students will embark on an investigation of materials and ingredients across a large range of recipes.
There are two key units which will draw from creative, current chefs as well as design principles to influence their thinking around food product development. They will explore functional modelling and develop a design portfolio that will see them engaging critically in technological processes that support the development of a product and a range of processing methods to produce a recipe outcome that is fit for consumers within a determined context.
