As part of the Stage 2 Outdoor Education course students and some staff completed a First Aid Course and will receive a certificate for their efforts. The course involved completing an online component which involved viewing a number of scenarios followed by an exam, before completing the practical component today. During the practical assessment participants were required to display their understanding and confidence in treating a variety of scenarios, which include:

• Snake bites - Sprains and fractures
• Severe asthma - Embedded objects
• Recovery position - Using a Defibrillator
• CPR - Choking
• Allergic reactions (EpiPen)

Overall it was a valuable experience which will benefit everyone involved and we thank Peter and Ben Brown from First Aid SA for assisting us through the training.
