Learning CPR Print E-mail

Today and last Thursday, Core 1 boys and Core 2 girls had an Intro to CPR. This involved learning what to do in a situation where someone is unconscious, struggling to breathe, choking, not breathing at all and how to help someone who’s suspected of drowning. We went through this checklist of components on CPR which abbreviated to DRSABCD. (Danger, Response, Send for help, Airways, Breathing, CPR, and Defibrillation). We performed these actions on CPR dolls and went through some methods on what to do if the doll was a real person and was choking, unconscious or had been suspected of being drowned.

We are being assessed on this for an exam within the week and if we pass the exam, we get a certificate for First Aid. This is really helpful for the future in case someone is put into a situation where they are in potential danger of dying and we could help save them. This will also allow us to apply this to our resume for applications that will open a wide range of opportunities and more jobs in the future. Both of us have learnt a lot from this experience and will use it in the future.

School For Student Leadership

School for Student Leadership is a Victorian Department of Education and Training (DET) initiative offering a unique residential education experience for year nine students. The curriculum focuses on personal development and team learning projects sourced from students' home regions. There are four campuses in iconic locations across Victoria. The Alpine School Campus is located at Dinner Plain in the Victorian Alps. Snowy River Campus is near the mouth of the Snowy River at Marlo in east Gippsland. The third site is adjacent to Mount Noorat near Camperdown in Victoria’s Western District, and is called Gnurad-Gundidj. After consultation with the local aboriginal community, this name represents both the indigenous name of the local area and an interpretation of the statement "belonging to this place". Our fourth and newest campus, currently known as the Don Valley Campus is located at Don Valley, Yarra Ranges.

Our school community acknowledges the Gunaikurnai and Monero-Ngarigo people as the traditional custodians of the land upon which our school campus is built. We pay our respects to all Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people, their Elders past and present, and especially whose children attend our school.
