Cath Holmstrom's goal is to transform the classroom experience and to provide a range of opportunities for students to demonstrate their suitability for social work practice. Cath models the reflective approach that students need to become effective practitioners. She maximises the learning potential of the group by building students' confidence and capacity: "Cath mixes academia with real life scenarios, which bring the subject alive. She often provides insights into her own life to explain her arguments, which in turn gives me tacit permission (and confidence) to be able to do the same."
