Heavenly Flowers School takes first aid and the safety of their learners very seriously.<\/p>\n
With this in mind, and before the management team of the school headed to the polls last Wednesday, they completed their American Heart Association HeartSaver CPR AED course at Turtle Life Support in Lambton.<\/p>
The team included Heidi Searle (the school\u2019s owner), Nicolette Joseph, Daleen Harris, Natasha Viljoen, Leon Nel and Neil Kelham.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe well-being of our children is the primary focus at Heavenly Flowers,\u201d said Heidi.<\/p>
\u201cAlthough we have facilitated first-aid training for our staff throughout the years, we decided to step up to the next level.<\/p>\n
\u201cTurtle Life Support approached us and encouraged us to take part in the American Heart Association\u2019s HeartSaver CPR AED course, with the main focus being high quality application of CPR.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe all know the ABCs of first aid, but what was encouraged during this course was the mastery of CPR techniques.\u201d<\/p>\n
The team now feels better equipped to handle many different emergencies.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe now feel confident to apply CPR,\u201d Heidi said.<\/p>\n
Barry Mey, general manager of Turtle Life Support, commended the team on their approach to the course.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s not often we get such an enthusiastic bunch of people who have the desire to learn more and put their skills to the test.<\/p>\n
\u201cTheir commitment to first aid it exemplary,\u201d said Barry.<\/p>\n
