Presentation on FIRST AID ESSENTIALS

Health and Wellness club of the school conducted a Powerpoint presentation on First Aid Essentials. As complexity in life is increasing and students are leading a very active life, therefore it is necessary that they learn to deal with small emergencies like burns, heat exhaustion, fainting, fractures, sprains etc. With the aim to equip the students with the know how of what to do and what not to do in case of a minor mishap or accident, a presentation was shown to the students describing in detail the various ways and means to handle a disaster.
The presentation was followed by a brainstorming session wherein different hypothetical situations were given to the students. The students suggested the various safety measures that can be taken in each case. The activity enabled the children to understand the importance of maintaining control as well as providing an emergency framework in case of a disaster.
