NSW Rural Fire Service (NSW RFS) Cadet Program: Nine enthusiastic Year 11 students from Canowindra High School have been actively participating in the NSW RFS Cadet Program, held on Wednesday afternoon during sport time in terms 3 and 4. This exceptional initiative is designed to develop leadership skills, fos­ter teamwork and instil a strong sense of community responsibility through volunteer service. Throughout the program, the com­mitted students have been introduced to a wide range of essential skills required by first responders. These include basic first aid, hazard recognition, effective commu­nication, operation of firefighting tools and equipment and foundational firefighting techniques. Well done to these students!

Courageous Year 11 cadets volunteered to sit inside a staged car wreck while it was carefully dismantled using the hydraulic ‘Jaws of Life’ – an unforgettable and impact­ful learning opportunity.
