UCOL Taster

On 30 October UCOL in Palmerston North kindly hosted many of our Year 10 students for a Taster Day which aimed to expose them to a variety of careers that could create a pathway into further studies or work-ready employment opportunities.  Throughout the day the students participated in interactive activities in the areas of construction, health science/animal care, beauty, hairdressing, sport science and early childhood. Students made the most of this opportunity and enjoyed the experience of being in a tertiary learning environment for the day.  Students said "I enjoyed experiencing all the different fun activities", "The teachers were very friendly and seemed to genuinely enjoy what they're teaching" and "It was fun as!! I liked the hair and beauty most".
