St John Ambulance Sydney University Division

🚑 Weekly Training Recap! 🚑

This Tuesday, our St John Sydney Uni Division went full Aussie mode with a session on bites and stings 🕷🐍, perfect for the lead-up to snake season which starts in September. We didn’t just learn about these creepy crawlies; we got hands-on with first aid treatment too! From pressure immobilisation to keeping calm under pressure (when you really just want to scream), we practiced key skills to provide the best first-aid care.

Our presentation was so fire that the fire alarm went off! 🔥🚨 Next thing we knew, the fire brigade was crashing our training session 🚒.

Welcoming our new Superintendent Tym 🥳!

Last week, we were thrilled to officially welcome Tym as our new Sydney University Divisional Superintendent (OIC) 🎉! Since joining St John NSW in 2019, Tym has held various leadership roles, including Stores Officer, Operations Officer, and Division 2IC 🚑. These experiences have given him a deep understanding of managing both the operational and strategic facets of our division 📈. Tym has also played a key role in training and member engagement, ensuring our volunteers are always prepared and motivated 📚 . He brings fresh ideas and a strong commitment to further developing the Sydney University Division💡.

We also farewell Reagan, who has been an amazing leader of our division for over 2 years 🙌. Luckily this isn't goodbye, as he steps into another exciting role at St John NSW as Sydney Central Hub Leader 🌟.

Congratulations to both Tym and Reagan!
