P5-7 had the delight of a visit from a paramedic today under the best possible circumstances!

Tanya Ellis was kind enough to come in and speak to the boys and girls and tell them all about her job as a paramedic and the hard work she does. This was in relation to P5-7’s health and well-being focus of First Aid.

Tanya informed us all about how she qualified for her job, what exactly her job entails as well as lots of additional and very valuable first aid information.

The boys and girls were trained in what the emergency position is and had the challenge of trying to put each other in it correctly and learned about the steps of CPR.

They are extremely clued up in how to act if an emergency situation arises and a couple of them have come away considering a career as a paramedic which is exciting to hear!

Here are some photos of the boys and girls in action:
