In-School Program

Our First Aid In-School Program provides high school students with crucial first aid skills, preparing them to respond effectively to emergencies and fostering a culture of safety and responsibility. This training not only empowers students with life-saving knowledge but also instills confidence, critical life skills, and a sense of civic duty, contributing to their personal growth and future career readiness. Ultimately, it enhances school culture and prepares students to make a positive, life-saving impact.

The course includes a mix of classroom instruction, hands-on practice, and role-playing scenarios. Students will participate in practical exercises that simulate real-life situations, ensuring they feel confident in their ability to act when it matters most.

With instruction and practical training in line with legal, workplace and community considerations, Australian Resuscitation Council guidelines and other Australian national peak clinical bodies, this first aid course teaches the skills and knowledge to recognise emergencies and provide immediate and effective first aid treatment to any person suffering a sudden illness or injury.

The course covers assessing the casualty, providing safety, accessing emergency services, and using resources to provide first aid, such as providing CPR and using a defibrillator, administering an auto-injector for anaphylaxis, administering asthma medication, assisting someone choking, using appropriate immobilisation techniques for envenomation, fractures, dislocations, sprains and strains, managing casualties with non-life-threatening bleeding and shock.

Students will learn basic anatomy, physiology and the differences between adults, children and infants relating to CPR, the importance of the chain of survival, written and verbal reporting of incident details, reviewing incidents to improve your own skills and response times, to recognise psychological impacts, and seeking help as required.
