We deliver our AGED CARE and HACC in classrooms, online, in the workplace and also in our simulated learning environment.

A photo of the HACC simulation - lower couches, a variety of beds, manual handling hoist on ceiling, manual handling aides etc

For many of our students talking and interacting with an older person is new experience.  Here is one of our dedicated students practicing english conversation and providing assistance whilst waking with an older person in one of the gardens at CIT.  It is always such a lovely presence and learning becomes opportunistic.

And this is one of our favourite photos that captures the connection made between the student and older person in the learning environment.  We talk about who learns what......from many perspectives. (NB full written consent for use of photo)

After 24 hours took the student their containers out. As you can see on this picture bacteria has multiplied.

Photo 5

In this machine should the bacterials grow over 24 hours (If their is some bacterials). The machine have the same temperature as our body, around 37 degrees. The teacher laid a towel over it to block the daylight.

This was a task about bacterials, and how easy it is to get infected. The students should take a test with the cotton rod for exampel in the mouth,on a towel, or somewhere in the bathroom. After the students got the sample,  they should put it in the red container. If their exist bacteria, it will get caught in the red gel.
