Year 10 Biology First Aid Training

On Wednesday October 17th, the Year 10 Biology class undertook an all-day CPR and First Aid course. The course covered a large number of topics, from treating broken bones to administering Epipens to 

treat anaphylaxis. We also got the chance to practice CPR on a range of dummies and were walked through how to correctly utilise the DRS ABCD first aid acronym.  By running through emergency scenarios the whole class has received a newfound confidence in our ability to remain calm under difficult circumstances and employ simple yet life-saving techniques in the real world. And whilst we will all have the phrase, “I’m a First Aider, my name is John” stuck in our heads from now on, the training we received was invaluable to us both as students, and future employees.

Kick

Miette Georgio, 9I is staring and narrating in a TV show 'KICK', which is to air next week on ABC ME.

Miette has been an avid soccer player since she was 5 years old and her father has been filming her development via a series of TV shows (he is the producer/director of the TV series).  Miette is a current under 16 player for Football Federation Victoria (FFV) which participants in competitions against under 19 Womens Premier League (WPL) players and national competitions throughout the year.

What does it take to become a great footballer? What does it take to become a Matilda?

In this season of Kick, we follow 6 up and coming talented Football players, all at a critical stage of their development. Each player sets their own personal targets in the quest to play at the most elite level.
