Level 3 Hospitality Preserving and cooking for service in a commercial kitchen
3HOSA Course DescriptionTeacher in Charge: Ms D. Corban.
Student at Level 3 MUST produce food for service within an authentic environment for a variety of customers and in a variety of situations. For this reason, the Level 3 students are an integral part of the Papakura High School Catering business called 'Educaterer's'. Hospitality students at Papakura High School have a well equipped, purposely built and fully functioning catering kitchen for this purpose.
Students, as well as the learning tutors at PHS, are required to be committed to practising the Food Safety Standards of New Zealand and produce quality and complex foods to a commercial standard at ALL times within this vocational environment. We support each other and work as a team to achieve successful outcomes.
Students must commit to achieving Unit Standard 167 Food Safety in a commercial environment (Level 2) before they can gain credits at Level 3.
