Lakeland College students and two staff went down under in June 2010 for student practicums. They were arranged through Lakeland's relationship with South West TAFE.  While the group blogged about their experience on Adventures in Auz. They were also media stars in one of the local papers. That article is in the drop down. Watch slides of some of their activities.

International guests learning lessons while kids have fun

Creative kids had tonnes of fun as they were joined by special international visitors to test out some of the activities before the Fun4Kids festival officially kicks off tomorrow.

Students from Canada’s Lakeland College will be part of the team helping some of the littlest festivalgoers have a great time at the activity attic during Fun4Kids.
The 16 Canadian students who are studying early learning, childcare, disability studies and youth care, will team up with South West TAFE students who have planned the activities and use the week as a practical placement as part of their studies.

Chair of human services at Lakeland College, Pat Wasylik said the trip was the first of it’s kind and was sparked by a growing educational relationship between the college and the TAFE.

She said the trip was aimed at giving students an international perspective on their intended profession.

“We’ve always been interested in the festival and seeing what it’s all about,” she said.

“It’s been fantastic. It’s a great opportunity to see how human services are taught and run in another country, some things are different while other things are the same.”

Student Lyndsay Haaland said the biggest difference the Canadian students noticed was the climate. “We can’t have outside play all year,” she said. “It’s interesting to see how the different climate affects the activities children can do, but a lot of things are the same too.”

This year in the activity attic the focus is on play and discovery with children encouraged to flex their creative muscles. From a bubbling volcano and squishy Play-Doh to a fairy garden and a quiet book corner, the play space is aimed at igniting imagination.
