What EATucation offers

Culture First

Our commitment to culturally responsive teaching practices ensures ākonga can celebrate their cultural heritage within a safe and inclusive learning environment. Our resources provide opportunities for ākonga to bring their prior knowledge and cultural backgrounds into the classroom, where they can be shared and celebrated. In doing so, we create a rich, multicultural dialogue around food that acknowledges cultural diversity, honors Te Tiriti o Waitangi, and strengthens community bonds.

Safe Food Narratives & Body Image Development

Our resources are crafted with input from Nutritionists and Eating Disorder Mental Health Specialists, ensuring they are evidence-based and sensitive to young people's needs. Our approach actively avoids guilt/shame narratives as this language has been shown to be harmful, particularly for minoritised students and those experiencing food insecurity. We focus on fostering a balanced relationship with food by promoting its positive role in community building and self-discovery. By empowering ākonga with the gift of food literacy, we encourage informed food choices that support positive body image development.

Dyslexic and Neurodivergent Considerations

At EATucation, we believe that cooking is a universal language that embraces diversity. We aspire to empower all neurodivergent ākonga by helping them find their unique recipe for success!

All our resources are compatible with text-to-speech tools and can be read aloud to students. We also use neurodivergent-friendly fonts and have supportive word and page spacing and formatting to support reading and ākonga accessibility.

Year 9-10 Units

Our Year 9 & 10 units support Food Technology, Home Economics, and Food & Nutrition kaiako to deliver engaging and diverse units that cover the breadth of learning in our Food Literacy Framework. EATucationā€™s ready-made resources provide ākonga with life-extending food literacy and create a foundation for NCEA food subjects. Our resources explore foodā€™s connections to science and technology, sustainability, culture, nutrition, and health while developing practical life skills.

We will introduce new units each year to keep our content fresh and relevant. See below for our new 2025 units!

  • Noodle Know-How
  • Pizza Pro
  • Surprise Snack
  • Gourmet Gummies

NCEA Units

We believe NCEA should enable our learners on their unique pathway to adulthood. All our NCEA units are designed and filmed with New Zealand's leading restaurants. This gives students a connection to the hospitality industry throughout their learning and allows them to see professional chefs demonstarte the dishes they will cook in class, explore thier menus, and learn from the best in the business!  

All our 2025 NCEA Unit Standards will come with Pre-Moderated Assessments Approved by Ringa Hora - Workforce Development Council (WDC). All schools using EATucation assessments need to have the relevant Consent to Assess. This is overseen by Ringa Hora, for more information please see here


New Unit Standards will be uploaded each year. Our 2025 Unit Standards are: 

Level One

Level Two

Level Three
