Course Description

Teacher in Charge: Ms H. Willemse.

Year 9 Food Technology is a quadmester 9 week course introducing students the overall concepts of Food Technology, skills, equipment and ingredients.

In year 9 we develop a food concept and suitable packaging using the design thinking process.  

Students are taught about food hygiene, food safety and care for the equipment.  Practical cookery is a large component of this course.

This gives students the opportunity to be exposed to the basic knowledge and skills in Food Technology.
