Bush first-aid for students
This workshop can be tweaked, depending on the year group it is presented to. It is appropriate for students between years 5 to 13. It introduces the idea of helping each other and ourselves when things don’t go to plan while out in the bush. Practising through scenarios keeps the workshop interactive and makes the learning easier. The session ends with a game to review learned skills.
