We are requesting a voluntary payment of $110 to go towards running a high quality course with a good range of ingredients to enhance the practical experience for students in the Food Technology programme. We believe that students really value the learning enhancements that this payment provides.
It is strongly advised that students have their own container weekly for practical lessons.
