Students Save Lives Incursion – teaching children a life-saving skill!
Have you ever wondered how your child would react in an emergency? Would they know what to do? Does your child spend time with grandparents and/or other friends and family that may need medical assistance? Learning what to do in an emergency is a vital skill that Mr Paramedic teaches children!
What does Mr Paramedic do?
A local Queensland company that’s passionate about education and saving lives, Mr Paramedic believes that adults and children can learn valuable life-saving skills. They deliver childcare, kindergarten and school incursions to children ranging in age from 2 to 10 years.
Accompanied by their mascot “Pablo the Paramedic”, one of Mr Paramedic’s educators delivers a 1-hour workshop, teaching children what to do if they were involved in a medical emergency. The workshops are hands-on and fun and were created by a team of paramedics and state-school teachers to ensure it’s tailored appropriately for children.
What will the children learn to do?
Children are taught what a medical emergency might look like and how they should respond. The workshop teaches them how to call for an ambulance, how to recognise a breathing and non-breathing person and how to perform CPR (depending upon the age of the children). In the session, children will also have the opportunity to create their own emergency fridge magnet that they then can take home and refer to in an emergency. Students also take home their certificate of attendance and a DRSABCD bookmark.
Testimonials
“Recently we had an incursion with Mr Paramedic. It was amazing. The children were engaged throughout the whole experience and were excited to receive their certificates. This incursion taught the children some life saving skills and the confidence to use them if they found themselves in an emergency. Would we recommend Caleb and the team at Mr Paramedic? Absolutely we would for the experience and the affordability for families.” – Jacque, coordinator at Inala PCYC
