Student School First Aid Program

Our activity-based Student First Aid Program was designed so that students of every age level has the opportunity to learn valuable first aid skills. First aid training creates strong responsible students who are part of a larger community. The program not only gives them first aid tools, but the confidence to step up when an emergency situation arises.

The Student First Aid Program is:

Taught onsite in each of your classrooms
Customizable to your scheduling and curriculum requirements (typically 1.5hr blocks per class)
Tailored to what is important to your students and community

Levels 1-3 are designed for Grade 2, Grades 3-4 and Grades 5-6. Each level increases the level of training and involvement for the students. With the booking of Level 1-3 training(s) we will include a free 30 minute introduction to First Aid for your Kindergarten/Grade 1 class plus a First Aid Kit to keep as our gift to you!

Level 4 is designed for Grade 7 and up. By grade 7, we encourage students to become certified in the Red Cross Emergency First Aid certification program including CPR and AED training.

Our goal is to deploy our program into each classroom of the school, educating each student with lifesaving skills. However, we can work class-by-class if required.

The goal in level 3 is for the students to participate in common scenario activities, understanding how to help with each one, understanding what supplies and equipment is required for the specific event presented to them.
