The Rosmini College Year 12 students spent the second week of October taking part in the New Zealand Plunket facilitated Tots and Toddlers programme as part of their Catholic Religious Education course.
Tots and Toddlers is an interactive life skills course designed to introduce Year 11, 12 and 13 students to the realities of parenting. Local Plunket Parent Volunteers bring their babies and toddlers into the school and talk to students about being a parent. The students are able to interact with these babies and toddlers and learn about the realities of parenting through such practical activities such as bathing, play and changing nappies.
The Plunket facilitator for Rosmini College was Jill Porter. Head of Religious Studies, Steven Mills hopes the course will make students realise, as one Year 12 boy commented, “Gosh it’s hard work!” and that raising a child needs the complete involvement of both parents. Tots and Toddlers is based on Unit Standard 10021 Demonstrate Knowledge of the Basic Needs of Young Children and it is worth two NCEA credits.
