A group of enthusiastic Grade 10–12 students accompanied by Mr. Tepper recently attended the University of Tasmania Health and Medical Science Taster Day, gaining first-hand insight into what it’s like to study and work in the rapidly growing health sector.

Throughout the day, students rotated through interactive sessions in Sport and Exercise Science, Biomedicine, Pharmacy, and Nursing. They engaged in a range of hands-on activities, including fitness testing and movement analysis in Sport Science, exploring the human body at a cellular level in Biomedicine, compounding medications in Pharmacy, and practising patient care techniques in Nursing.

The taster day provided an incredible opportunity for students to experience university-style learning, speak with lecturers and current students, and discover the diverse range of careers available within health and medical sciences.

For many, it was an eye-opening experience that sparked new interest and motivation for future study in these important and rewarding fields.

We’d like to thank UTAS and all the staff involved for hosting such a valuable event and inspiring our students to explore the possibilities of a career in health.
