Community Club

April’s Community Club, we took public transit to Peel Paramedic Station! The students had to navigate taking two busses this month! Room 16 planned the bus route, found which busses to take, printed out maps and lead the way. On the way there we did run into a challenge where we missed our connecting bus. The students persevered and worked together to quickly get on and off the bus on the way back so that we made our connecting bus!

While at the paramedic station, the students had an opportunity to look at different medical supplies they use, practice bandaging a head wound and how to take someone’s blood pressure. The students were then invited to tour the ambulance bay. They were able to go through the trucks, look at the different materials and supplies and ask many questions. The visit ended with our students receiving a plush stuffed animal, “James the Moose”.

We would like to extend our sincerest appreciation to the Peel Paramedic Station at Thomas and Erin Mills for their amazing care, experience and going above and beyond to make this a successful and educational trip!
