Year 7 Paramedic Visit

On Thursday 17th October, SMS greeted paramedic, Rory Farrell, who spoke to 140 Year 7 students.

The students learnt about how the emergency service has evolved over time, the entry routes into the profession, what employers are looking for and what a typical day looks like as a paramedic. Students really enjoyed hearing about the common calls a paramedic receives and the stories he shared with them.

Please read the student feedback below:

"I learnt that paramedics are very important and save lives every day without resting."
