During Term 1, in our nursing space we have had a year 9/10 option of Health and Community Services, and our year 11/12 class of Introduction to Health Services Industry. Both these classes have been working hard on health concepts and learning new items relevant to the health industry.  

Year 9/10 have learnt how to take some basic vital signs, as well as some theory regarding various health careers and how public health works for Australian’s.  

Year 11/12 have also worked on basic vital signs and practically completing functional assessments. They have completed units relating to workplace health and safety, maintaining beds and how to communicate effectively in a health care environment.  

Both groups of students have attended an excursion to the University of Tasmania to discover career options that can be studied at our local Cradle Coast Campus.  

I can’t wait to see what Term 2 will bring for this space!!
