Junior Chef Academy
Course overview
The Junior Chef Academy is part of the Activate Learning Cookery School and is the starting point for young chefs in Years 9 to 11 who want to explore food and culinary arts.
You will be introduced to basic cookery methods and have an opportunity to cook foods from different cultures.
You will:
- gain confidence in understanding what to cook
- discover how to cook it and why we cook that way
- begin to develop a curiosity for developing your own dishes
You need an interest in everything about cookery and a curiosity about how to cook. In addition, having a can-do attitude and a willingness to learn will really help you enjoy your experience.
We will be delivering half-termly courses throughout the year. Once you are 16, you will be able to progress onto our professional culinary study programs and apprenticeship programs.
