Level 3 Hospitality Plus Academy Two line option.
ACHOS3 Course DescriptionTeacher in Charge: N. Hanson.
Recommended Prior LearningAt Level 3 it is expected that students have completed the Level 2 academy successfully.
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. Students with satisfactory attendance and work ethic will attend work experience one day per week.
At Level 3, there are also two options. One double line option and the other option is full-time Hospitality.
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.
The Hospitality Academy Programme offered in 2026 will include timetabled hours outside of normal school hours. This makes it possible for students to complete some of the units under realistic conditions. Students are encouraged to enter culinary competitions and participate in community service. Students will be required to assist in catering tasks that occur both during and after “normal school hours”.
All the standards contribute credits to the NCEA. Some English standards may be offered in a Hospitality context to allow students to develop their workplace literacy skills.
