As part of the NESA Child Studies elective, our Year 9 and 10 students have been learning about the needs, development and wellbeing of children. Late last term, they had the chance to bring their learning to life by leading the Primary School Tabloid Carnival for students in Prep to Year 2.
The day was filled with joy, laughter and movement for our youngest learners. It was also a meaningful opportunity for our Child Studies students to serve, lead and apply the child-focused skills they have been developing throughout the course. From setting up engaging activities to supporting individual children with care and encouragement, they showed maturity, creativity and compassion.
We are proud of the way these students stepped up and made a difference. Their leadership not only enriched the experience for our Prep to Year 2 students but also highlighted the strength and character of those studying Child Studies in Years 9 and 10. They are a wonderful example of learning in action and of the kind of students who make our school community thrive.
