Party Ready

What Is Party Ready?

Do the Year 9 and 10 students at your school know how to keep each other safe at parties and social gatherings? Our Party Ready first aid program can help.

Party Ready will equip Year 9 and 10 students with the tools and knowledge to help their mates if they are injured, unwell or in distress. From CPR to psychological first aid and substance overdose, Party Ready will help young people to be confident to de-escalate the immediate situation as well as help them to direct the person to an appropriate intervention.

We thought that the program ran really well. Chantelle was brilliant with the students and adapted the course each day taking into account our feedback and her own reflections on each activity. The recovery position and CPR component is by far the most engaging and the students loved this practical component. Clearly hours of work had gone into the creation of the booklet and powerpoint and the scenarios and activities were also very good

Program Details

The Party Ready program is designed to be delivered to 1 homeroom group (20-25 students) per day (approx. 5 hours spread across the day).

Currently we can deliver to one group per day with one Trainer available. Therefore if you wish to book more than 25 students, please indicate this in the form below and select multiple date options to allow us to return over several days.

We will require:

1 dedicated room for the day, carpeted and at least 10mx10m and with some clear space for CPR practicals in groups of 3-4 students
Access to a screen with working sound – e.g. TV or data projector and screen
Access to a whiteboard
A Teacher to be present for the entire duration of the program to support the Trainer and students who may require it

Students will complete activities and workbooks individually and in small groups and will break out into sessions for CPR and defibrillation.

Please be advised some of the content we will be addressing may be confronting for students, with topics around physical and mental first aid. Your support with the wellbeing of students who may need to leave the session is vital.

In 2022 the program is being supported by a generous grant, and is therefore free. Going forward into 2023, there will be a small charge of $15 per student to cover the costs of the program.

Please note this form is for Victorian Secondary Schools Only.
