Year 12 7HOS – Hospitality (NCEA L2)

Course Option Description

Head of Learning Area (HOLA): Ms G. Small.

Why this course:    

Queenstown’s economy is built on tourism and a major part of this is the hospitality industry. From hotel work to front of house responsibilities in a cafe or restaurant, from working as a chef or even a barista, the opportunities for employment in our fair town are endless. This course has been designed for students who wish to pursue a career working in some aspect of the hospitality industry either here, elsewhere in NZ or even abroad.

Course information:    

The aim of this course is to continue exploring practical cooking skills and to develop confidence when greeting and serving customers in a hospitality setting. The written component of the course has an equal weighting and comes in the form of workbooks from Service IQ.

Topics taught are likely to include:

  • Review of food safety practices.
  • International food preparation and presentation
  • Food and beverage service.
