Today we had a visit from a lovely teacher called Jo from St Johns. The ASB St John in Schools programme aims to develop confident young Kiwi kids who care for the health and wellbeing of their communities. The sessions deliver positive learning experiences to empower children to prevent injuries and respond to emergencies.
Jo spoke to the class about the number of children who are hospitalised each week in NZ due to being cut, burns, poisons, wheel related accidents, falling off things at home, in the community and at school. Jo talked to the students about the ways that they can keep themselves safe and out of hospital.
The students then had the chance take turns to clean a 'pretend' wound with water and gauze then bandage up an injury. They were so interested and engaged throughout the session and we can't wait to learn more from Jo next time she visits.
