Course Description

In this unit, students will be able to care for ‘computerised real-life babies’, which will help them understand the roles and responsibilities of parents and caregivers.

Child Development is a great course for those interested in working with young children. There is an excellent opportunity to pursue this interest further after this course, and students would be well-equipped to do this after completing this elective.

Topics include families, conception, pregnancy and the needs of a newborn baby. Practical projects include meals for expectant mothers, food for young babies, and craft-related projects.

This course is recommended if you are interested in a child-related career or studying Certificate III Early Childhood Education in Year 11 and Year 12.
