CASE STUDY:
Empowering Woodleigh School Staff with First Aid Training

Overview

Over the past three years, Remedy First Aid Training has been privileged to partner with Woodleigh School, delivering comprehensive First Aid, CPR, and Anaphylaxis training across their three campuses. This collaboration has equipped hundreds of teaching, support, and administrative staff with the knowledge and confidence to respond effectively to emergencies, ensuring the safety of their school community and meeting duty of care obligations.

The Challenge

Woodleigh School faced the challenge of ensuring that all staff remained up to date with the latest first aid practices while accommodating their busy schedules. With three campuses and limited staff time, they required a training solution that was efficient, engaging, and tailored to their specific needs.

Our Approach

Remedy First Aid Training designed a customised program to meet the unique requirements of Woodleigh School:

• Flexible Scheduling: Training sessions were strategically scheduled during the college’s final staff days of the year, allowing large groups to participate without disrupting regular school operations.
• Onsite Training: Remedy provided multiple instructors onsite, running consecutive sessions across campuses to maximise participation and minimise downtime.
• Blended Learning: Incorporating online learning modules reduced the time required for face-to-face sessions while maintaining the depth and quality of training.
• Hands-On, Practical Focus: Training emphasised real-world scenarios, from managing life-threatening allergic reactions to performing CPR and addressing everyday first aid situations encountered in schools.

The Outcome

The partnership has delivered significant benefits for Woodleigh School:

• Comprehensive Training: Hundreds of staff have been trained across all campuses, staying current with best practices in first aid.
• Increased Confidence: Staff report feeling more prepared to handle emergencies, ensuring a safer environment for students and colleagues.
• Efficient Use of Time: The blended learning approach streamlined training delivery, respecting the time constraints of busy staff members.
• Enhanced Collaboration: Remedy’s tailored approach fostered a strong partnership with Woodleigh School, aligning training delivery with their operational needs.

Conclusion

The ongoing partnership between Woodleigh School and Remedy First Aid Training highlights the importance of tailored, practical first aid education in creating a safe and supportive school environment. By combining flexibility, hands-on training, and innovative learning methods, Woodleigh School has ensured their staff are ready to handle emergencies with confidence and care.
