NCEA Level 1 Food Technology
Course Description
Teacher in Charge: Mrs S. van der Spuy.
This course is designed to address a context, develop a brief and design and produce a specific product to meet the specifications of the brief.
Students learn the processes and techniques to produce a specific product. for example - cheese, baking, pastries or bread.
Portfolio work and practical sessions are utilised where students trial and test product design.
1. Products developed; Cheese, bread, ice cream, muffins, snacks and light meals.
AS 92012 : Develop a materials and processing technology outcome in an authentic context.
2. Cooking skills and techniques developed throughout the year.
AS 92013 : Experiment with different materials to develop an MPT outcome.
3. Development of conceptual designs and prototyping of a final product.
AS 92015 : Demonstrate understanding of techniques selected for a feasible MPT outcome.
Materials and Processing Technology is a hands-on, creative subject that encourages ākonga to explore the three strands of the technology curriculum through the design, development, and creation of fit-for-purpose outcomes.
The practice of technology is grounded in intervention by design and ākonga will have multiple opportunities to demonstrate this.
Ākonga will cultivate life-long practical skills and learn to incorporate collaboration into their technological practice. They will also develop an understanding of sustainable practices through research and application.

Disclaimer
Rosmini College's timetable is student-driven and a new timetable is generated each year based on student subject selection. Unfortunately, while we do our best to avoid them, timetabling clashes may still occur and a few students may be required to choose an alternative subject option.
The 2025 timetable, including the number of classes in each subject and staffing allocations, is created based on student selections made in 2024. Because of this, changing subjects at the beginning of 2025 may not be possible. Please, make your subject choices carefully.
