Lower 5 PSHCE Health, Citizenship and First Aid Day

On Monday 24 April, the L5 students embarked on a day off timetable, engaging in half a day of first aid training and half a day of ‘RSE Health’ workshops.

The first aid sessions were highly practical, providing hands-on training in essential skills such as CPR. These life-saving techniques offered our students an introduction to the skills needed to respond effectively in emergency situations.

The RSE Health workshops focused on two critical topics: Female Genital Mutilation (FGM) and contraception. By addressing these sensitive subjects, we aimed to equip our students with knowledge and understanding, enabling them to make informed decisions about their own health and well-being.

These sessions emphasized the importance of respectful relationships, personal autonomy, and safeguarding oneself and others.

The year group enjoyed working with external facilitators in smaller, workshop groups and took many opportunities to engage with our visiting experts in order to further develop their understanding of these important topics.
