Year 10 Nutrition & Health

Subject Description

Teacher in Charge: Mrs A. Hassett.


Nutrition & Health

Prerequisite: Achievement in Year 9 NHE or has an interest in finding out more about the food we eat and how it impacts on our wellbeing.

This course will focus on food safety, the  influences on our food choices and, in particular, how sustainable food practices can make us reconsider some of the food choices we make.

Students also develop their practical techniques associated with food. Knowing how to safely and sustainably prepare, cook and store food are important skills for now and the future. This is done through one practical lesson each week with a cooking partner. 

The recipes relate to the the learning topics, and help apply knowledge in a practical context. Learning about the different temperatures that are important to control bacterial growth is incorporated into the Great Y10 Pie Making Competition. Investigating ways to be more sustainable around food is tested as students work as a group to create a sustainable meal deal. 

In the latter part of this option, there is a practical assessment. This is presented as a challenge for the student  to create a meal based on the Healthy Dinner Plate model from a choice of food items.
