3/4 Incursion

St. John's First Aid

On Monday 7th March Grade 3/4 ‘s had a visit from St John’s Ambulance. St John is a community organization  that is  committed to promoting the importance of first aid  and believes that there is no better place to start than in our schools. 

Our students learnt about vital first aid knowledge and were able to participate in situations that may occur in their daily lives. 

 

3/4  learnt about DRSABC:

 

We learnt that in an emergency we Ring 000 and talk to an operator who will help us with what to do.

 

We learnt how the steps to putting someone in the recovery position
