In Year 10 Child Studies, students learn about baby development from pregnancy through the first year, exploring prenatal factors. Students demonstrate practical skills by parenting and being responsible for a simulator doll. They research the impact of sleep deprivation on new parents, create a child-safe toy to accompany a children's book while exploring the importance of reading, and develop toddler food, emphasising nutrition and safety.
