On two successive Thursday's in September, TY students spent all day undertaking a First Aid Course given by the Order of Malta. Edward Keogh and Chad Greenblatt, describe what they did.

4th Years had a two-day First Aid learning experience. We learned CPR and basic First Aid. Our instructor, George, showed us many techniques on how to treat people for cardiac arrest, shock and choking. We also learnt about different bandages and slings and the correct way to apply them. We thought it was a very worthwhile experience and we learnt a lot during the two days.
