Why do we learn food?
Ark Alexandra’s Catering Curriculum aims to:
- Teach the principles of nutrition and healthy eating.
- Develop competence in a range of preparation and cooking techniques that enables students to feed themselves and others affordably.
- Develop understanding of how to plan and adapt recipes for a range of different ages and dietary needs.
Our Catering curriculum teaches the Christian values of Cherishing themselves and others, Celebrating Difference and Reflection.
