Placement courses
Compulsory Placement Course
Students must complete 20 days school experience and 80 days supervised practicum. The school experience is embedded in 4 courses that each require 5 days of activity associated with schools and/or school age students. Students are required to complete two blocks (7-8 weeks) of supervised practicum in their professional year. Effort is made to place students a reasonable distance from their home but they can be expected to travel up to 90 minutes due to public transport connections and incur costs associated with travel and possible lost income. Students are generally placed between the Sunshine Coast, Gold Coast and Ipswich and are encouraged to explore the option of a rural placement.
Students are required to have a current Blue Card (Working with Children Check) before commencing practicum.
Honours
