Our Year 12 ECEC students have hit the ground running this term, engaging in early maths skills experiments designed to develop critical thinking and foster curiosity and discovery. They’ve been exploring the foundations of early childhood education through hands-on activities that highlight the power of learning through play and inquiry. To build on their classroom learning, students also had an amazing day today visiting Mia Mia @macquarieuni — a renowned leader in early childhood care for children aged 6 weeks to 5 years. This valuable experience deepened their understanding of supervision and safety in early learning environments. At CathWest we offer Certificate III Early Childhood Education and Care as a Vocational Pathway. Start your traineeship now! Head over to our website to find out how you can enrol as a Year 10 or 11 student. https://cathwest.parra.catholic.edu.au/enrolmenthttps://cathwest.parra.catholic.edu.au/enrolment @catholicschoolsparra09 Aug 2025
