Alpine Lessons - First Aid |
Each student undertakes Basic Emergency First Aid during the early weeks of our program. The course follows current standards established by Life Saving Victoria. The lessons are taught by Alpine School teachers who have been trained by Life Saving Victoria. The lessons cover Cardio Pulmonary Resuscitation (CPR), managing injuries such as sprains, bleeding, fractures and burns and the management of shock. The students learn through observation and participation in class, as well as practicing CPR on manikins. There are also lessons in the outdoor environment, with scenarios designed around potential real-life situations the students may face when on expedition or out and about our local area. |
