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’s Students Save Lives educational first aid program teaches children!

What is “Students Save Lives”?

Students Save Lives is an educational first aid incursion program created by Mr Paramedic Pty Ltdย after recognising a need for children to have the skills and
confidence to act in an emergency. Mr Paramedic believes life-saving education should start young, helping children feel empowered rather than afraid when something goes wrong.

These incursions have been developed by experienced paramedics and teachers, combining real-world emergency knowledge with age-appropriate learning
strategies.

What happens in a Students Save Lives incursion?

Mr Paramedic’s qualified educators use hands-on activities, real-life scenarios and interactive demonstrations to teach children essential safety and emergency response skills in a way they can understand and enjoy. Sessions are tailored to suit each age group, making learning practical, memorable and confidence-building.

The incursions are fun, engaging and age-appropriate first aid incursions directly to schools, childcare centres, kindergartens and community groups across Brisbane and South-East Queensland.

What will the children learn to do?

Children learn important life-saving basics including how to call for help, recognise an emergency, dial Triple Zero (000) and basic CPR awareness. Most importantly, children are given the confidence to act in an emergency. They learn how to stay calm, seek help from trusted adults and become confident helpers in an emergency.
