Basic First-Aid Awareness Course in St Paul’s

June 20, 2011

Being aware of an emergency or life threatening situation and having the ELS skills to ensure the best possible outcome for a casualty are life skills that the staff in St. Paul’s High School recognise as essential learning through their students personal development programmes.

In encouraging the development of these skills, the staff have extended their Emergency Life Support programme to include a Basic First Aid Awareness Course that equips the students with the theoretical and practical skills of how and what to do in an emergency situation.

St Paul’s High School is a thriving, innovative educational community of almost 1500 students of all abilities, from children with learning difficulties in our Learning Support Centre to high calibre academic achievers in our AS, A2 and Applied Post-16 courses. All classrooms are equipped as standard with interactive whiteboards, and students and staff are encouraged to make the fullest use of technology for learning and teaching.

The school, which was established in 1966 with the aim of providing its pupils with a Christian education within the Catholic ethos, is situated on a modern campus in pleasant rural surrounding in the townland of Carrickbracken, County Armagh. St Paul’s High School was designated by the Department of Education as a Specialist College for Science in 2008, and the school was awarded the BECTA ICT Mark in 2009.
