Child Studies explores the broad range of social, environmental, genetic and cultural factors that influence pre-natal development and a child's sense of wellbeing and belonging between 0 and 8 years of age.
Child Studies includes study of preconception and family preparation, newborn care and the influence and impact of nutrition, play, technology and the media.
The knowledge, understanding, skills and values developed through Child Studies provides a foundation for a wide range of study options in and beyond school and also a range of vocational pathways that support and enhance the wellbeing of children. Studying this subject will also support young people engaged in voluntary caring, supervision and child support roles and in formal work opportunities such as childcare and education.
