Well tonight four of my students at the lifesaving club took their first set of higher awards from the royal life saving society (RLSS). They spent half an hour taking their life support 1 exam, which requires them to show a basic level of knowledge and understanding on how to diagnose and treat a number of different conditions, perform CPR and understand the difference in lifesupport between adults, children and babies. After this, they then participated in a water based exam which required them to demonstrate an understanding of how to safely perform a range of different rescue techniques. Quite a heavy night especially at the end of term for the four 14 year olds. However, I’m glad to say that all four students passed and no officially hold their bronze medallion. So I just wanted to say congratulations to them all, as I know they were all a bag of nerves.
