The team helped us understand how important it is to know what to do in an emergency \u2014 and how <em>anyone<\/em>, even children, can make a difference and help save a life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>During the workshop, pupils learned about the <strong>DRS ABCs<\/strong>, an easy way to remember the steps to take if someone needs help:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>D<\/strong> \u2013 Check for <strong>Danger<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>R<\/strong> \u2013 Check for a <strong>Response<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>S<\/strong> \u2013 <strong>Shout<\/strong> for help<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>A<\/strong> \u2013 Open the <strong>Airway<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>B<\/strong> \u2013 Check for <strong>Breathing<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>C<\/strong> \u2013 Start <strong>CPR<\/strong> if needed<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Everyone enjoyed practising chest compressions on the CPR manikins and talking about how staying calm and acting quickly can really help someone in trouble.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This hands-on learning links closely to our <strong>MetaSkills<\/strong> focus on <strong>self-management, empathy, and communication<\/strong>, and supports the <strong>United Nations Global Goals<\/strong> for <strong>Good Health and Wellbeing (Goal 3)<\/strong>. It also helps us uphold our <strong>UNCRC Rights<\/strong>, particularly <strong>Article 6 \u2013 the right to life<\/strong>, and <strong>Article 24 \u2013 the right to good health and education<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A big thank you to the <strong>DG9 Foundation<\/strong> for teaching us such an important life skill \u2014 and inspiring us all to be confident first aiders!
