Food and Technology

The food sector is dynamic, diverse and creative. Innovative food products are continually being introduced into the marketplace in response to changing social, economic and environmental needs of society. Technology plays an important role in food product development and the way food is produced, processed, packaged and marketed.

The study of Food and Technology enables students to acquire knowledge and skills to make informed choices when selecting, storing, purchasing, preparing and consuming foods that will contribute to a healthy lifestyle.

Students learn to determine the best way to prepare and cook foods in a practical setting, design recipes and meals, produce food items and evaluate their work. Food and Technology is taught in both Middle School and Senior School.
