by Paul Jobber | November 24, 2014
STUDENTS from Port High School on Wednesday were put through their paces at SES headquarters as part of a week-long cadet program.
Local controller Ray Richards said students worked on many aspects of rescues including roof rescues and treating injured patients on a stretcher.
"We've found the kids learn a lot quicker with hands-on experience," he said.
"There's a few more girls this year which is something different.
"They all realise that assisting the community is the best part of working for the SES and as a volunteer.
"The training included working in storm situations, floods and tsunamis. Safety is the main focus of the training exercise," he said.
