Frequently Asked Questions
1
What do children receive through the program?
Children learn a range of lifesaving skills that will equip them with the knowledge and confidence to respond to an emergency situation. Each child will also go home with a First Aid “show bag” that will enable them to continue their learning outside of the classroom, as well as a certificate of completion signed by their teacher.
