The event marked both the official recognition of the Living Classroom partnership at Fairhaven and the graduation of seven students who have completed their PSW training through this on-site learning model.
The Living Classroom program enables students to complete their theory, skills training and clinical placement directly within a long-term care home. The approach provides hands-on experience in a real care environment, allowing students to work alongside care teams while developing practical skills and confidence for careers in health care.
This cohort represents the first group of students to complete the program at Fairhaven, following a pilot launch in Fall 2025.
