NAREMBEEN District High School students can now bank on learning first aid.
The local Bankwest store has provided a $1000 grant and Narembeen Community Resource Centre has coordinated funding for first aid training for years 9 and 10 students, which may one day prove to be a life-saving move.
Diane Pollard, Bankwest’s Narembeen store manager, secured the grant for the school as part of Bankwest’s Happy Communities program.
“The school was inspired to provide this training for students after witnessing firsthand how first aid can empower students and save lives,” she said.
“It was great to have the chance to make a real difference.”
More than 600 Bankwest Happy Communities grants have been awarded, helping groups from local schools and sporting clubs to emergency services to name a few.

What a great opportunity for school students to learn first aid in a safe environment. Everyone should take part in some form of first aid throughout their younger years. Come and do a first aid course in Canberra with Canberra First Aid and training to make sure you know what to do when an emergency happens.
