Drug and Emergency Education

This term, our class is focusing on Drug and Emergency Education, as part of our Health Program.

The main areas of focus are:

1. Medications - safe storage and safe use

2. Making safer decisions around medications and who can administer medications

3. People who can help us in an emergency and understanding what an emergency is

4. Calling 000

5. Practising dealing with an emergency

All of the above focus areas help the students to become more healthy, safe and active within the community. Following on from the above topics, towards the end of the term, students will participate in an incursion from the Life Education Van. This will reinforce all of the above concepts and be a fantastic way to end this unit of learning. More information about this will be provided later on in the term.

Our next lesson is about calling 000. It is vital that all students know their full name and how it is spelled, their date of birth, home address and home phone or mobile number of a parent or guardian. For this to happen students are required to complete the below sheet which they will be given a copy of and return it to class by Monday 6^th of August.

Thank you for your ongoing support,

Mrs Caris Szczepanik
