Child Studies

Child Studies aims to develop in students the knowledge, understanding and skills to positively influence the wellbeing and development of children in the critical early years in a range of settings and contexts.

Thank you to the King family who visited our Child Studies Elective Classes this week to enlighten students of the learning curve involved in raising premature twins.

Year 10 Bronze Medallion

Last Friday, March 14, Caringbah Leisure Centre saw our Year 10 cohort take part in their Bronze Medallion training. This event was not only a day filled with learning and skill development but also an opportunity for students to gain a greater appreciation for water safety and life-saving techniques.

The day began with a 400-meter swim, testing the endurance and stamina of all students. It was impressive to see our students rise to the challenge, supporting each other and demonstrating excellent teamwork throughout the swim. 

Following the swim, the students participated in a series of life-saving skill activities. These lessons included learning critical first aid techniques, and practical rescue skills, all of which are essential for any potential emergency situations. Our students showed great focus, commitment, and an eagerness to learn, and we couldn’t be prouder of their efforts. We hope this experience will inspire our students to continue developing their life-saving skills, both in and out of the water.

A huge thank you to the staff at Caringbah Leisure Centre for facilitating the event and to our teachers and support staff who made sure everything ran smoothly.
