0:06
so I've recently completed my
0:08
certificate 3 in Early Child Care and
0:10
education it was always something that I
0:12
wanted to try and then my school sort of
0:14
gave me the idea for a school-based
0:16
trainee ship and it just sort of all
0:18
fell into place and I was pretty excited
0:21
about
0:22
it so I was doing my year 111 12 when I
0:26
started my trainee ship and I had time
0:30
in my like at school I had study periods
0:32
to do my theory but I was also working
0:35
here at corong preschool one day a week
0:37
where I got to do my practical parts of
0:39
my study I found that it was really
0:41
beneficial for me because it meant that
0:43
I was earning money while I was still
0:45
studying and I had a job to go to when I
0:48
finished school I didn't feel like I was
0:50
starting from scratch I live quite uh
0:53
it's about an hour and a half away from
0:54
the TA Center so I did all my learning
0:56
remotely I had um frequent Zoom session
1:00
with my
1:02
teachers I know that a lot of people are
1:04
focused on going to UNI which is a great
1:06
option but I for my experience I had a
1:08
lot of friends that um weren't sure what
1:11
they wanted to do and found it easier to
1:13
do T as well and I think it's beneficial
1:16
cuz you don't have to travel you can do
1:17
it from home just makes life a bit
1:20
easier
1:21
sometimes well ta was really supportive
1:24
I know there was a time at the start of
1:25
my studying where I was having some like
1:28
issues at home and I didn't have as much
1:30
time to study and they were really
1:32
helpful in the fact that they supported
1:33
me with any like questions and concerns
1:35
I had and if I needed uh extra time for
1:39
assignments they were really supportive
1:41
so my school was actually the one that
1:43
organized it for me which was really
1:45
good I didn't have to do anything they
1:46
got it all sorted and I had teachers
1:49
that were very supportive so if I was up
1:51
to date with my school work I was free
1:54
to do my T study or if I was behind in t
1:57
study they' let me catch up on that and
1:59
I had I'd help here as well at my my
2:02
work at coron preschool I had a lot of
2:05
co-workers helping me when I found
2:07
things challenging cuz they knew what it
2:08
was like I really love that everyone's
2:11
so supportive so your Educators your
2:13
manager there's anything wrong they know
2:16
what it's like to be working with
2:18
children and how like full on it can get
2:21
so they're all very supportive but I um
2:23
I also love how rewarding it is like the
2:25
little stories you get from the kids
2:27
that just make you giggle for the rest
2:29
of the day
2:30
