Health Education - Certificate III Basic Health Work Placements

In the last week of Term Two, the Year 11 and 12 Certificate III in Basic Health students completed their Work Placements at Seasons Private Aged Centre, Golden Beach (Year 12) and St Mary’s Aged Care, Pelican Waters (Year 11).  The placements gave the students a chance to put the theory they had learnt at school into work place practice.  The facilities provided an opportunity for the students to view and experience the wide range of care provided at the centres from independent living through to high care Dementia units.  It was a very ‘hands-on’ placement for the students involved.

The college would like to thank the facility co-ordinators and staff for the experience that they offered to the students.  In the years to come the college looks forward to furthering the relationships that were developed with these facilities.
