First Aid/CPR/AED Certified!

Posted: May 22, 2013

Recently a class of Grade Eight Eleanor W. Graham Middle School students and two of their  teachers completed a 16 hour Standard First Aid, CPR and AED training offered by the Saint John Ambulance Training program.  This certificate is valid for 3 years and certifies them to offer emergency first aid, CPR and use an AED which is an Automated External Defibrillator that can positively improve the survival of someone who has gone into cardiac arrest. Instruction was provided by Certified Instructor for Anglophone North Schools, and teacher at EWG, Mr. Paul Mourant. This training was provided at no cost to the students and was offered each day for 45 minutes as part of their health program. Each student had to participate in the theory and practical activities and successfully complete a final exam.
