BKK Prep, Event, News, Whole School March 1, 2023

In a ground breaking initiative, school leavers from seven South East Asian international schools gathered at Bangkok Prep from February 18th – 19th, to learn the essentials of emergency first aid response, foundational swim teaching, and pool lifeguarding.

The nine nationalities in attendance made for a truly diverse and enriching experience for all involved.

The students were all competent swimmers and spent the weekend mastering the art of pool safety, including how to perform CPR, attend to serious bleeding, and rescue a drowning person. Additionally, they learned the basics of teaching swimming, equipping them with the necessary skills to become competent caregivers.

The program was designed to provide students with vital life skills, as well as a sense of responsibility and awareness when it comes to pool safety. The students rose to the challenge, showing impressive levels of commitment and enthusiasm throughout the course.

At the end of the training, the students received certification in pool lifeguarding, emergency first aid response, and foundational swim teaching, making them well-equipped to help others in the future. The initiative was a resounding success, providing an invaluable learning opportunity for all those involved.

The next SCA Graduate Booster course will be held in June at Bangkok Prep to enrich another cohort of school leavers with life-long skills.

Please email Mr. Matt if any school leaver in 2023 would like to attend in June.
