If you think students spend all their spare time avoiding studying, going out with their mates and having a good time then you'd be right. Well our student bloggers do anyway. While they assure us they don't slack on the study, they've got a lot to answer for when it comes to enjoying themselves while volunteering.

First aid

Hello again !!

Most of you probably know first aid is a major part of St John, you might have seen some first aiders at public events such as fireworks, fates, fairs etc. They are all volunteers too, but to ensure their skills are all up to date it is a requirnement taht every memeber of St, John, adults, cadet or badger muct coplete a refresher frist aid course every year, and then a larger one every three years ( Young life saver plus for teh cadets and First aid at work for the adults). Theprevious courses have finished now, which some very good and some interesting results. the media groups ended up with a lot of interesting footage and photos from the division of many of the cadets and unfortunately a lot of me - maybe because i ran away from teh camera making me a more fun target !?!? The casulty simulation gruop ended teh tearm with a full portfolio of cuts, bruises and broken bones - a few even had very convincing astma attacks. ( all fake of course )  

At the monent the cadets are doing their yearly first aid review which consists of a six week cours and then the dreaded assesment. One of our old adults has come back to teach teh course, as this one needs a qualified first aid instructor. Since most of the cadets have already done their first aid more than once, our instructor is making it as fun as possible.

Organisation for the christmas disco continues.

Stay warm  love
