EXPERIENTIAL LEARNING IN THE FIELD
In 2019, Paige Enright was one of 30 students who undertook the Professional Practice Unit (PPU) and writes “I ventured off to Shepparton (a town approximately 2 hours north of Melbourne) to work with the Numurkah Health Service. My PPU sought to understand how food insecurity was experienced by people living in the Moira Shire and what services and health promotion activities were available in the community. My PPU allowed me to explore the Murray region, where I drove over 1,000km in 6 weeks to interview different service providers and to visit different Food Banks. I highly valued my PPU experience because I was able to work in an area I am very passionate about and embed myself in the local community to learn about service provider’s experiences to ensure I made practical recommendations in my final report”.
