Year 10 Food & Nutrition (10FNT)

For those with an interest in all aspects of food and nutrition they will find this programme offers a balance between exploring the nutrition the developing teenage body needs and the hands-on experience of making recipes. This course builds upon the safe food practises that were explored in the Year 9 programme by looking at the reasons for these methods. Ākonga will practise new food preparation techniques and explore incorporating the food groups that make up a balanced diet through making meals, side dishes and baking. In relation to 'Te whare tapa whā', the Wel- being model followed by the Ministry of Health, food influences will be investigated with an in depth look at what personal affects they may have.
