Level 2 Cooking Essentials - Hospitality Academy Level 2 - One hour course

Course Description

Teacher in Charge: M. Mudaliar.

This Academy creates real opportunities for enthusiastic students in Hospitality to achieve industry based skills in our commercial kitchens with a dedicated pathway into employment or further education.
In the first year, (Level 2), there are three options. All options run each day, one being one hour a day, another a two hour a day option and the final a three hour a day option. In the second year, (Level 3), there are also two options. One is two hours a day each day and the other is full-time Hospitality. Students with satisfactory attendance and work ethic at Level 3 will also attend NZMA Symonds Street Chef Training School or have similar commercial training, one day a week and will be trained by their tutors (limited places are available).

Students will also spend time in the school café working towards credits in both cookery, food and beverage, and customer service. Chef jacket, pants, cap and apron are required for all options; full-time students need two full uniforms.
In this academy students will gain knowledge, practical skills, develop confidence, passion and dedication for a career in the hospitality industry. As part of the second year course structure they will experience a selection of real work placements. The Hospitality Academy Programme offered in 2024 may include hours outside of normal school hours to make it possible for students to complete some of the units under realistic conditions. Students will also be encouraged to enter Culinary Competitions and partake in community service when appropriate.

All the standards contribute credits to the NCEA. Some English standards may be offered in a Hospitality context to allow students to develop their work place literacy skills.

All students will need to: complete the MHS online selection process or see Mr Hackett or Mr Tinling, plus complete an AWVA application form and have an interview with the academy tutor. Students will then be notified about whether they have been selected or not.

Places are limited in the academies and are not guaranteed until the application has been confirmed after the above.
Further information is available in the specific academy handbook.

All academy students will need to fill out an AWVA one page application form. See the Academy Offices for a form.
