Guest Speaker - Elli Heard Secondary School Nurse
Elli, is employed as a Secondary School Nurse, sharing her role with Yea High School and Alexandra Secondary College. After working in hospital and clinical roles, she is finding it a rewarding position, providing primary prevention, health promotion, supplying resources and classroom support.
Currently the emphasis is drug and alco-hol awareness, using “goggles” and St Johns Ambulance for first aid for party situations. There is a severe shortage of the “goggles” which simulate the effects of difference levels of alcohol and drug use, and Elli is looking at different ways/grants to fund a set to keep at the school., RC of Alexandra has provided the equipment for Alexandra.
It is proven that early education is beneficial, with the hope to mitigate incidents and make students aware to look out for their mates.
