Our Class Routine

Our class routine is standard across all year levels. The majority of the lessons are double periods. First period is theory based, while the second period is a practical lesson. The practical lesson is set to compliment theory lessons and help cement the theoretical knowledge.

Teacher Expectations
As students come out of junior school and start heading into middle/senior school, students are expected to read a recipe, collect ingredients and execute the practical lesson with verbal guidance from the teacher. There will be times where a recipe may require the teacher to demonstrate the techniques and processes. However the majority of the time we encourage independence and team work from our students.

Year Ten "Food Studies" theory lessons will focus on the following course outline:

Food Safety & Hygiene: - Personal Hygiene Practices - Discovering Micro-organisms - Harmful Bacteria in our Food - Extending on ingredient knowledge

Lifestyles and Food Choices: - Explore how our lifestyle can effect food choices and health. - Introduction to understanding "sensory science" (Taste, Smell etc)

Food Technology : - Students investigate and research Hamburgers - With a brief, students design a concept for a new hamburger - Students develop their own recipe, produce and present their hamburgers

Food from other Cultures : - Students explore other cultures and their food habits. - Students complete a Research Assignment on a culture of there choice.

This is some students working through the development process for the Lamb and Beef Hamburger competition. A class competition will be carried out on the 21 June, in order to find the two best burgers and the students who developed them. Together with the teacher they will earn a place at the reginal finals (North Tec) as representatives for MAS at the reginal finals on the 4th July. Good luck to my year 10 class with first round of competition (here at school) on the 21 June. Results will be posted on the week of the 22nd June.22 June 2011, we have our results, Georgea and Shakyra will be represtenting us on the 4th July at Northtec Whangarei.

Year 10 Food Technology

Year Ten have been a fantastic group this term and we have tackled some great projects. Armed with knowledge aquired from previous lessons, the term culminated into devising two course menus for specific dietary rquirements. The constaints of gluten free, high carb, diabetic, vegetarian and weight watcher diets were dutifully transformed into a smorgasbord of delights including tereyaki beef, macaroni cheese, vegetarian baguettes, vanilla waffles, chocolate coated bananas and coconut hotcakes. The food that the students produced was faultless and all the more commendable as they undertook all the research, compiled the menus and requisitioned the food all by themselves...great work guys!!!
