Food Technology at Napier Intermediate School introduces students to essential, lifelong culinary skills and nutritional knowledge. Over a dedicated 6-week rotation, learners dive into the fundamentals of food hygiene, kitchen safety, and practical food preparation techniques. Students work hands-on with a variety of ingredients and real recipes, building the confidence to cook independently while exploring how food choices impact wellbeing. By experiencing this focused curriculum, students develop both practical capability and a genuine appreciation for the culinary arts.
Fabric Technology
Fabric Technology at Napier Intermediate School empowers students to bring their creative designs to life through soft materials. During this 6-week rotation, learners are introduced to the design process, from initial concept planning to the final construction of unique textile projects. Students master practical skills, including the safe and effective operation of sewing machines, pattern cutting, and material selection. This immersive program encourages problem-solving, fine motor development, and artistic expression through tangible, handmade creations.
Because our technology program operates on a two-year system, students spend one full year focused on Food Technology and the alternate year on Fabric Technology. By the end of their tenure at Napier Intermediate School, every student will have had the opportunity to fully experience and benefit from both rich, practical subjects.
