Congratulations to all of our Transition Year students who completed the Irish Heart Foundations ‘CPR 4 Schools’ training programme. The students received training in CPR and a certificate. Some 5,000 people die of sudden cardiac arrest every year. 70% of cardiac arrests happen in the home in front of a bystander – starting CPR can double the chance of survival. It is the aim of the Irish Heart foundation to have trained 72% of Secondary schools by 2019. Well done to all involved.
