Alana S., Year 12, who graduated from her VET course, Certificate III in Human Services (Acute Care)
Congratulations to Alana S., Year 12, who graduated from her VET course, Certificate III in Human Services (Acute Care) on Thursday evening 19th September.
Alana was presented with her certificate at a ceremony organised by NSW Health Nepean Blue Mountains Local Health District.
Alana is one of 69 students in four classes that graduated. Students were commended for completing a health related qualification involving 15 units and 80 hours of work placement alongside their HSC courses over the last two years. They were reminded of the importance of their roles as health care workers to nurture the mind, soul, heart and bodies of patients in their care. All students now have a qualification to work as health service assistants, either in a hospital or equivalent health service provider.
Applications for this course for next year are closed, however if you are in Year 10 in 2025 and would like to know more about the Certificate III in Human Services (either Acute Care or Allied Health), please talk to Ms Xuereb, Leader of Learning Pathways and Partnerships.
