Last year, all 1st Year and Transition Year students at Gorey Community School were trained in vital life-saving skills, including Hands-only CPR, AED use, Recovery Position, and Stroke F.A.S.T. The GCS CPR Team was honored with the National IHF CPR for Schools Award, and team members Caroline Kennedy, Collette Price, and Arlette Bradley received individual Heroes Awards for their exceptional efforts.
Training will continue this year, with current TYs already trained and 1st Year students scheduled for later in the school year.
