.. yes the point you make is very true, not all schools will have food tech, though many do. MHS aims to build the whole person, and won't allow you just to study for 10 hours a day, get an award for academics and think you are the greatest. A prerequisite to be able to graduate from the school is that you have to be able to swim a certain level, this is a) beneficial for health, and b) an important life skill. They also have PE classes until year 12, and i think you have to undertake at least 2 co-curric, however i may be wrong about how many you must do.
