Our Health Science students have the opportunity to take<br />
part in <strong>international</strong> practicum placement in Bali throughout<br />
their <strong>course</strong>. In collaboration with Health Communication<br />
Resources (HCR), students reside and work in a Balinese village<br />
“My practicum placement enabled me to<br />
create sporting programs for children<br />
with special needs.”<br />
My greatest achievement so far has been my practicum<br />
placement at a school for children with special needs.<br />
Thanks to the skills I learned during my <strong>course</strong>, I was able<br />
to create specialised sporting and movement programs<br />
that encouraged the kids to build their confidence, socialise<br />
and participate in physical activity in a safe environment.<br />
for three weeks. The placement offers students an inside look<br />
at <strong>international</strong> healthcare programs, enabling them to further<br />
develop their studies and skills in community development and<br />
health promotion<br />
