Recommended Prior LearningCompleting the Food and Nutrition course at Year 10 is recommended as it provides the students with the necessary basic knowledge and terminology related to food, diet, and nutrition. However, Year 10 Health is also prerequisite for this course as it begins the development of a holistic understanding of health-related concepts. This gives students a good head start.
This course combines health and wellbeing with NUTRITION and practical hands on cooking that reflects learning.
We begin with a Unit Standard on fruit and vegetables and flow onto teenage nutritional needs that leads to long term well-being for life. This involves a further three Achievement standards for those who value endorsements.
This is a fantastic course for our ACTIVE TEENAGERS.

If you want to do both courses then you must consider that you will only be able to gain a maximum of 20 credits across the two courses (Achievement Standard Credits).
