L.I.F.E.

Our team consists of four people, Stephanie Varcoe, Georgia Roberts, Kate Martin and Emma Hatton. We attend The Illawarra Grammar School and are in Year 10.

Emma Hatton Georgia Roberts Kate Martin Stephanie Varcoe

Our team comes from the Illawarra region, which is located on the east coast of NSW, Australia. It is about a one-hour drive south of Sydney. Our region has reason for concern of a lack of first-aid knowledge because the Illawarra:

is backed by an escarpment – bush activities

present a hazardous environment

is home to many pristine beaches with

dangerous elements such as rips, bluebottles,

and sun

is renowned for its “party culture” with the

ensuing dangers of drug and alcohol abuse

We are looking to engage with

We are currently trying to

organize first aid training

funding from local politicians.

Interest has been shown from

Gareth Ward and Joanna Gash.
