Course Description

Teacher in Charge: Robyn Hunn.

Students are likely to work on four major units of work. They will use the design process to research, plan, create and evaluate their outcomes.

Design a Scone: Through the exploration of flavour fusions and functional modelling, you will learn how to present a perfect batch of scones with a range of accompanying ingredients.  You will be given the chance to explore flavour profiles you may have never experienced before, all in the pursuit of a new innovative scone design that combines traditional baking methods with a twist.

Kick Start Your Day: Become a savvy consumer by learning to decode food labels, packaging requirements and marketing strategies. You will learn how to select healthier breakfast options, create a café style breakfast and you will redesign the packaging for an existing cereal company.

Celebrations: In this unit you will explore recipes and platters that are centred around celebrations and festivals from around the world. You will be given the opportunity to design and develop your own gingerbread structure design.  Will your design withstand pressure tests?

What’s Cooking Good Looking?: Create and launch your very own biscuit product. You will learn how ingredients function together to produce the perfect baked goods. Then combine this with your knowledge of packaging and marketing to plan, design and develop a successful biscuit product for your target market.
