Babysitting and Paediatric First Aid Course
Rossett Adult Learning are offering a five week Babysitting and Paediatric First Aid course for Year 8 to 11 students starting on Monday 24th February from 6.30pm to 8.00pm, taught by our very own First Aid Lead Ms Rogers. The course will take place in school in the LRC and the cost is £40.
This is a great way to gain confidence for babysitting and learn new skills. The course content will include important and useful issues around babysitting such as: the rights of the family and the babysitter, accident prevention, baby care skills and child protection issues, personal safety, and dealing with home emergencies. Students will learn essential first aid including the recovery position, infant and child resuscitation, choking, dealing with injuries and defibrillator training.
On successful completion of the course students will receive a St John's Ambulance Part 1 First Aid and CPR certificate, and a certificate in babysitting competency.
Mental Health First Aid Training for Students
Today, some of our Sixth Form students took part in a half-day Mental Health First Aid training session. The cost of the qualification and resources was funded by the Ostrich Foundation and the course was delivered by Pat Sowa.
This vital training helps equip young people with the skills to support themselves and others, breaking down barriers around mental health and promoting well-being.
Thank you to the Ostrich Foundation for supporting such an important initiative and a special thank you to Pat Sowa who kindly gave her time free of charge.

BBC Filming
Back in November, BBC News filmed some of our students for a documentary exploring the impact of smartphones on young people's mental health.
While our students were filmed anonymously, they were excited to be involved and the segment aired on breakfast tv and on the lunchtime and evening news earlier this week.
