Curtin University of Technology Health Sciences
In 2008, the project included two semesters of laboratory-based 'hands-on' professional development about food science and nutrition. Curtin University has undertaken to offer short courses of laboratory-based professional development to other interested home economics teachers.

Curtin University Health Sciences also fulfilled the project-required Teacher Associate strategy by furthering participating school students' understanding of the Western Australian food industry and scientific understandings that underpin food technology developments.

The Division's additional contribution
The Western Australian Division provided food industry visits and complementary nutrition education professional development.

Sample units
The production of school or college appropriate sample units to support the implementation of the Curriculum Council Food Science and Technology Course was an essential component of the project.

The project was supported by the Western Australian Curriculum Council, the Department of Education and Training, the Association of Independent Schools of Western Australia and the Catholic Education Office.
