Re: what to expect on placement?
Different centres treat placement students differently. Some places may not really give you much time with the children and will just have you doing cleaning and menial tasks. I suggest if this is the case when you go on placement, speak up, ask to do some group time and some activities with the children...so go armed with some children's books (easily got from library) and some ideas for group time discussions, art & craft ideas etc....probably make a resource folder to take in.
As for Do's and Dont's well treat it like a paying job and remember if they like you they may even offer you a job for when you finish your Cert III so be on time, wear appropriate clothing, use appropriate language. Be polite & respectful, if you do not know something ask or clarify, it is always better to make sure 10 times than misunderstanding or being too confident and doing the wrong thing!
