Course Description
Teacher in Charge: Ms S. Mendoza.
Level 2 Food Technology
This course is designed for students who have already taken Food Technology in Year 11 and have followed the technological process to develop an outcome for their stakeholders; can demonstrate good knowledge of food safety and basic cooking skills. The focus is on our learners developing knowledge around product development, improving their advanced processing skills, understanding the functions of ingredients; designing and creating outcomes for a given context to address a brief.
The projects are as follows-
1. New Product Development - Much Moore Briefs
- This assessment requires students to develop a conceptual design and prototype for an outcome based on different topics given by Much Moore Ice Creams. You will work with a Food Technologist who will act as main stakeholder and mentor for your project.
- 2. Dumpling Delight
- This assessment activity requires you to in investigate, plan, process and evaluate a chosen version of dumplings.
- 3.Evaluate Health Promoting Strategies
- This achievement standard involves evaluating health promoting strategies designed to address a nutritional need.
*Food Technology is an UE approved subject at Level 3.

Entry Criteria
Entry into Level 2 Food Science requires successful completion of a Level 1 course in Food Technology
Students must also meet the requirements to study a Level 2 NCEA subject.
This is a limited entry course.
Limited Entry Courses: While Westlake endevours to provide all students with their first choices, in some courses there are limits for specialist staffing and/or rooming and equipment reasons. When student numbers exceed these limits students places will be determined by ballot. When students have selected more than one limited entry course, we will aim to place students in at least one of these courses. Students who have taken the subject in the previous year will have priority entry.
Equipment/Stationery and Course Costs
This course makes significant use of digital learning material at various times during the year. It is advantageous for a student to have a laptop during these times. Some learning activities, including assessments, will not be able to be completed without a laptop.
A course fee is required for Project Materials.
Pathway
Food scientists research, develop and improve food and drink products
The study of food science is science and engineering-based. It combines fundamental sciences, mathematics, chemistry and physics - and the more applied sciences and engineering - with business and management.
At the end of a 3-4 year bachelor degree, you will be able to move directly into key roles in the food industry (such as product development, process improvement or food engineering).
