St Johns First Aid in Schools

The last week in Term 1 saw the whole school from Kinder to year 6 participate in the St Johns First Aid in Schools program.  The program provides fun and informative activities and gives students the life skill of First Aid. Children are encouraged to act with confidence and help in the case of an emergency.  The knowledge and skills gained in the First Aid in Schools Program develop First Aid awareness in school children and contribute to building a more resilient community.

Kinder – year 2 focused on: Checking for danger, Who can help, Calling an ambulance and Managing an unconscious patient.

Year 3 – year 6 covered: Checking for danger, Who can help, Calling an ambulance, Managing an unconscious patient and CPR and Defibrillation (AED) demonstration. 

The students should be proud of themselves, they showed respect to Cheryl, the wonderful St Johns Ambulance facilitator and were engaged throughout the sessions.
