Recently we had the pleasure of welcoming more than 40 local high school students to our bi-annual High School Engagement Program. π
Each year we partner with CheckUP Australia and their Health Gateway to Industry Schools Program to run this event, to inspire and educate the next generation of healthcare professionals.
Students from Siena Catholic College, St Columban's College, North Lakes State College and Coolum State High School joined us as we explored the wonderful world of healthcare, with hands-on experiences in the birth suites, allied health gym and ICU training room. A highlight of the day was listening to a panel of healthcare professionals and university students, who shared their passion for their jobs, tips for getting into their courses and what their job can offer.
A big thank you to University of the Sunshine Coast and CQUniversity Australia, who provided valuable information about their courses. Thank you also to the Buderim Private Hospital staff and students who helped to make this event such a success.
