Level 1 Hospitality
Course Description
Head of Faculty/Teacher in Charge: Mr J. Sopers.
This course is designed as an introduction to the commercial kitchen and work environment.
We will be doing a number of cooks throughout the year that will be either sold or used for in-school events so students will not be able to eat everything they make, however they will be cooking for at least two periods a week to ensure the standard of the finished products is at retail level.

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 2025, 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.
