They will develop an understanding of the nutritional needs of teenagers and the influences on food choices and well-being such as whanau, teenage culture, advertising, economic and so on. Students will develop the ability to understand food promotion on food packaging and the nutritional information and apply this to food choices for the external assessment. Students can expect to participate in practical food experiences linked to the learning.
