Progressive Learning

Built to develop skills over time.

Students don't just learn first aid once and forget it.

The First Aid Heroes school program is designed so students can revisit essential first aid concepts as they grow, reinforcing earlier skills while gradually introducing more advanced responses.

By Years 5 and 6, students have progressed from recognising an emergency and calling for help to applying DRS ABCD, practising CPR and learning how to use a defibrillator.

“First Aid Heroes did a wonderful job running a training session for our Year 6’s. They were super knowledgeable and presented the information in an easy to understand and fun format. The kids didn’t want it to end and practised their new skills for hours after the session was finished!”

– Charlotte M (mother of Nina)
