Year 9 Food Technology have completed a unit of work titled Food for Special Needs.
During this unit, year 9 have learnt about a variety of reason as to why people require different foods in their diets. They have also participated in a wide range of practical lessons. During these practical lessons, Year 9 Food Technology students have created foods that meet the different dietary requirements of people with conditions such as Coeliac Disease, Diabetes Type 2, Coronary Heart Disease and Diverticulitis.
They also learnt to cater for people who select a Vegan or Vegetarian diet due to religious reasons or because of ethical or personal preferences. During practical lessons, Year 9 students learn to safely and hygienically handle and prepare food as well as develop their presentation skills.
