Response On St John

On Monday in the afternoon Catherine from St John’s came to Karoro school.
Room 1 went to the tech centre to do a St Johns course. We learned what
DRSABCD means, the D stands for Danger, the R stands for response, the
S stands for send for help, the A stands for airway, the B stands for breathing,
the C stands for CPR or Commence, the D stands for Defibrillation.

We also learned how to do CPR and Defibrillation on a dummy. We were
put into groups of eight, all the girls were put together and there were two
groups of boys. There were eight dummies at the front of the room. The
first group of boys went to the front and done CPR on the dummies as well
as Defibrillation. Then the our group (girls) went up, and after that the other
boys group.  

I thought that learning to do CPR was good because if something happened
in real life it would be good to know what to do. I thought it was fun and I
enjoyed it.
