12 Food Technology
12FTE Course DescriptionTeacher in Charge: Miss S. Brooks
The creative skills and materials knowledge required when working with food are further developed in Year 12 Food Technology. Students will develop and be assessed on their understanding of technological processes and application of Food Safety within food manufacturing. They will apply this knowledge in order to create food products. Food Technology is a UE approved subject.
NOTE: AS 91356 is also used in 12DET therefore it is not advisable to take 12FTE and 12DET
Students with known food allergies will need to discuss with the HOD an action plan for managing this in class before taking part in any practical lessons.
Pathway Course Costs and Equipment/ Stationery requirements
We would like to provide extra ingredients to enhance learning and we encourage a voluntary payment of $80 to cover these. Students will get to consume or take away the items they produce.
Students will also need to maintain credit on their print account during the year to support this course and it is strongly advised that students have their own container weekly for practical lessons.
Recommended Prior Learning
Completion of Year 11 Food Technology or with permission from the HOD.
