FOOD TECHNOLOGY
Year 10 Catering students recently undertook their Task 1 - Practical Exam. This involved the
students creating 4 baked items as part of an afternoon tea menu within controlled conditions. Afternoon teas
are very popular and are an excellent way for chefs to demonstrate their skills at producing baked products.
The students must be commended for their organisation prior to the exam, in the planning and preparation of
the menu. This is in addition to the outstanding effort and high quality finish, demonstrated in the final
products. It is clear to see that the students had high aspirations
and were
ready to rise to the challenge.
The examinations were a great success and I would like to thank
everyone for their support, particularly parents/carers, and
subject teachers for their patience throughout.
