Rotary gift to help keep students safe

Two South West schools have access to a piece of life-saving equipment after receiving defibrillators from St John Ambulance.

Grace Christian School and Newton Moore Senior High School were given the automated external defibrillators last week, which were paid for by Rotary Club of Bunbury Leschenault donations.

St John Ambulance assistant regional manager Dianne Langford-Fisher said there were now 46 defibrillators in the Greater Bunbury region.

Rotary club secretary Ian Telfer described schools as a “key part of our community” and said the group was pleased to make the donations.

“We were keen to encourage defibrillators in schools because they are a focal point for a lot of traffic,” Mr Telfer said.
