Today our three Senior classes and our staff took part in First Aid training run by FirstAidCoaching. There was great enthusiasm among staff and pupils as we learned about CPR, the use of the recovery position, choking, using an Epi-pen, head injuries and using the defibrilator. During the training, the pupils were encouraged to take notes, share their prior knowledge and experience in first aid. Some very interesting stories were shared by the pupils and the facilitator and there was ample opportunity for asking questions. The highlight of the day was definitely getting to do the practical work - trying the CPR on the mannequin and using the practice Epi-pen. After today we are all definitely more aware of what we need to do if someone has an allergic reaction or gets injured in school and out in the community.
