St John to the Rescue!

In August St John came to visit to teach us what they do in the community. We learnt about how they can help us and what to do when someone's nose bleeds. We discussed who to call if there is either a fire or an accident. After learning how to dial 111, we learnt that it is very important to know our home address and phone number.

Isaiah, Saitutuila and Fonoga got to try the St John uniforms. Looking cool!
