Level 3 Food and Nutrition
Course Description
Teacher in Charge: Mr P. McAllister.
During this course, ākonga will investigate how sugar affects individuals and New Zealand society. They will then evaluate school and community initiatives that promote well-being and develop/implement an action plan to support these.
Ākonga will also explore the influence of multinational food corporations, unpacking their marketing techniques and how consumption affects the well-being of New Zealand society. In addition to this, students will build upon their practical skills to plan, prepare, and present food for both individuals and groups.
This course equips ākonga with the tools to critically analyse societal attitudes, practices, and legislation to assist them in making informed decisions and acting in ways that contribute positively to the well-being of themselves, others, and society. This course is working at Level 8 of the Health & Physical Education curriculum.

Costs
The Board of Trustees has again asked to opt into the Ministry of Education donation scheme. Doing so resulted in the ability to waive student fee donations. Kaiapoi High School aims to deliver quality educational courses over and above those that which is funded by the Ministry. It is likely the School will opt into the donation scheme for 2024, however parental contribution for the costs of trips and activities where participation is optional, and/or components not covered by the Government grant, may be requested. We appreciate the financial support our families make to the School.
