We have funding to host a Hone Hato St John’s First Aid Level 1 Course for up to 20 people at the Wairamarama Community Hall.
This FREE opportunity is initially open to Wairamarama residents, and will be offered to the wider community if spaces are not filled. All expressions of interest are welcome!
This course is an opportunity to learn some lifelong skills to help yourself and those around you. The minimum age to attend is 14 years old (no young children in your care are permitted, sorry). The course will be held on a weekday (date to be confirmed) between 8.15am – 5.00pm. Food and refreshments will be provided.
