Rapid Response
A hurricane has hit Haiti causing widespread devastation to the local infrastructure!!!! Don’t worry Rapid Response has started! This is a cross-curricular activity involving the entire S1 year group. It takes place over eight days and will culminate in an activity day due to take place on Thursday 10th May, where pupils will be split into groups and set a series of challenges to complete.
Pupils play the role of Rapid Response engineers who help the people of Haiti to restore some of the basic elements including shelter, water and communications.
Throughout the tasks pupils will learn about team work, emergency first aid, emergency water purification and emergency shelter construction. The aim of the rapid response challenge is to increase pupil’s confidence, communication and motivational skills leading them to become confident individuals, successful learners, effective contributors and responsible citizens.
