On 2nd March, all year 13 Health and Social Care students took part in a first aid training course. This was an intensive 6 hour course designed to cover CPR, fractures, burns, hypoxia, head injuries, choking, bleeding and poisoning. Students also learnt how to deal with the unconscious casualty and mange incidents with regard to their own safety as well as the casualty’s.The course was run by two Saint John’s Ambulance trainers who felt that the school was one of the friendliest and most helpful they had ever visited. They commented that this being a Catholic school was clearly shown in the behaviour of both staff and students.
All students were successful and will now have a three year first aid certificate to take with them when they move to employment or further education at the end of this year. Congratulations to all who took part.
