VOCATIONAL EDUCATION NEWS

The Year 12 Certificate III Health Services Assistance class have been visiting Townsville’s providers of further qualifications in the Health Industry. On 10 May the class visited CQU and was hosted by the Health Faculty. The students were able to have some hands-on experiences in CQU’s Nursing Labs.

On 29 June the class toured JCU’s Nursing/Midwifery Science Facilities where they were able to palpitate a simulated pregnant abdomen in search of the position of the unborn baby. Students were able to learn how to take blood sugar levels, listen for regular and irregular heart beats in a baby virtual mannikin.

A huge thank you to JCU and CQU Health Staff who were able to take time out of their busy work days to provide this wonderful opportunity to our students.
