Home Economics and Food Studies

food, nutrition and health

Home Economics and Food Studies have shifted to an all healthy, all sustainable approach in 2019 and beyond. The study from years 8-12 has been guided by the Australian Guide to Healthy Eating, the Australian Dietary Guidelines and the movement towards whole foods grown locally. Students are assessed on producing food items in a safe and hygienic way (Australian Guideline #5). Courses are scaffolded to progress students from Year 8 through to Year 12, building their confidence and competence as we go. We encourage life-long learning and enjoyment of food in all its magnificent facets.
