Hosting a children's party

As part of their practical assessment, the Year 12 Child Studies students recently prepared and presented a children's party experience, showcasing their creativity, teamwork and child development knowledge in action.

Students designed and implemented a range of age-appropriate party foods and activities, ensuring that everything was safe, engaging and fun for young children. The menu featured nutritious and homemade snacks. Thoughtful party bags were filled with some useful little surprises – proving that parties can be both enjoyable and mindful of sustainability. 

The class demonstrated teamwork and organisational skills, collaborating to plan, prepare and deliver each element of the event. This hands-on experience not only strengthened students’ understanding of child development and event planning but also highlighted their capacity to implement safe management and quality control practices—essential skills for anyone pursuing a future in education, childcare or community services.
