Meet Ella and Hannah

Our placement experience has been truly incredible and impactful. We wholeheartedly recommend a rural placement to anyone given the opportunity. It extends far beyond the realm of speech pathology, offering an opportunity to experience the Mooroopna local culture and a warm embrace from the school community. Whether participating in school fun runs or assisting in the kitchen, there are countless opportunities to step out of your comfort zone, learn, and contribute to the community.

Each child we encountered during this placement had a unique story to tell, providing invaluable learning opportunities that have enriched our clinical development. We encourage full immersion in both the placement culture and the local community. From walks along the lake to shared group dinners at the accommodation with students from various universities and disciplines, every moment adds to the experience. This placement will forever remain in our memories, and we are profoundly grateful for the impact it has had on our growth as speech pathologists.
