“Through my Structured Work Placement at a childcare centre, I gained practical experience“
I am currently completing a Certificate III in Early Childhood Education and Care as part of my VET studies at Woodville High School. I have a strong interest in supporting the development and wellbeing of young children, which has guided my subject selections and career goals.
This year, I am studying English, Mathematics, Legal Studies, Food Technology, Horticulture, and my VET course. Each subject supports my pathway: Food Technology has developed my understanding of nutrition for different age groups, while Legal Studies has helped me understand duty of care and workplace responsibilities.

My Post School Future
My goal is to continue working towards a career in early childhood education, with the aim of further study at TAFE or university after Year 12 to become a qualified early childhood educator.
