HEART START

A group of Braidhurst science pupils at the end of their second year were awarded certificates for successful completion of the ‘Heart Start’ program.   Their involvement was due to a trial interdisciplinary project focusing on heart health.   The IDL project involved the science, home economics and physical education departments with a grat deal of support from the schools nurture unit.   In addition to learning basic first aid, including CPR and the recovery position, pupils learned about heart structure, cooking for a healthy heart and how exercise can keep your heart healthy and strong.  All pupils agreed the project had been really worthwhile.   The school hopes to involve all second year pupils in the project during this academic year.
