Health Food and Technology

What is my child learning in Health Food and Technology?

BGE Health and Food Technology gives pupils the opportunity to learn about food and textiles, developing their skills in a practical setting. They develop their knowledge and understanding of a wide variety of different areas, covering topics such as Eating for Health, Convenience vs Homemade, Food Science, Foods of the World and Farm to Fork.

Generally pupils cook every second week and ingredients are paid for by the school.

Pupils are required to bring in their own container when they are cooking and it is their responsibility to take the dish home and not waste the food.
