Curriculum Outcomes (SA): Students learn to assess and build their understandings of skills to effectively manage risky and challenging situations for themselves and others.

Key Learning Area: First aid

LESSON OUTCOME: Aim: To give students an understanding and awareness of basic first aid, specifically resuscitation (basic life ). It is beneficial for students to have a basic understanding of what to do in this medical emergency, so if they are ever faced with the situation of finding an unconscious person, they may be able to initiate live saving techniques.

PREPARATION: As this is a specialised skill, having a trained professional speak to the children (for example a member of St John’s) would be beneficial. As a video is used in this lesson plan, it would be necessary to have a projector, smart board, computer or television set up.
