S3 Fire Reach Programme

A group of 6 girls and 6 boys from S3 participated in the Fire Reach programme organised by the Scottish Fire and Rescue Service in partnership with North Lanarkshire Council.

The pupils completed this programme of work at Coatbridge Community Fire Station and focussed on several key areas; self discipline, basic first-aid skills, problem solving skills, communication skills, health & safety awareness, leadership skills, citizenship, team work and team building exercises and ultimately, life-saving skills.

The pupils involved had a very positive experience throughout the course and the instructors could not praise them highly enough for their efforts. The pupils have also achieved an Employability Skills Award at National 4 level and a First Aid Certificate.

Congratulations to Hope Davies, Niamh Hailstones, Kobie Gillan, Abbie Lyons, Shauni Murray, Emma Williamson, David Broxton, Nathan Fox, Connor Halligan, Louis Hennessy, Ryan MacDonagh and Sean Paul Spiers.
