On Wednesday 10 June, fifteen students from Years 7 and 8 participated in the Exploring Health Careers Immersion Day at Bendigo Tech School.

The day offered an exciting, hands-on introduction to the many pathways within the health industry. Students rotated through a series of interactive experiences that brought real-world health careers to life, from patient care and medical technology to allied health and emerging innovations.

Many thanks to Mrs Julie Fennell for accompanying the students on the day.

The La Trobe staff organised various activities for the students so they can at least learn the first few basics on what to do if someone’s life is in danger. (Pawhtee Ler)

The health day was wonderful for learning about job opportunities in the medical industry and skills for future jobs. (Violet)

We learnt how to do CPR, take blood pressure, find a heart rate, and more. We also took a tour of the health building and saw how some paramedics train. (Hannah)
