Food Technology is one of the design and technologies units taught in rotation across our four year curriculum cycle. In this subject, students learn how food is selected, prepared and shared, with a focus on safe food handling, hygiene and following structured processes.

Students follow a design process, where they plan, test and adapt recipes to meet a design brief. This approach supports problem solving and creativity, and helps students understand how the qualities of food affect cooking and results.

Lessons give students the opportunity to practise key food preparation techniques such as measuring, mixing, cutting and cooking, using accessible kitchen equipment and adapted tools including switch adapted appliances and easy grip utensils. These supports ensure that all students can engage meaningfully in every stage of food preparation.

The program introduces students to foods from a variety of cultures, broadening their understanding of food technologies and highlighting the role of food in society.
