Instead of visiting a workplace, the Year 3-6 students at the Blenheim Campus had some workplaces come to us!

In the morning we had a visit from St. John ambulance.  They showed us what they carry in their bags, and hooked some of the students up to their monitors.  We were then able to look through the ambulance. 

Did you know it costs $250,000 to fit out an ambulance, and that doesn’t include the cost of the ambulance itself?!

After lunch, the police dog handlers came with their dogs, Varca and puppy-in-training, Baya. 

Unfortunately, due to the weather, we couldn’t see a full display but we were able to see how powerful the dogs’ jaws are, and learn about the different roles they play by helping and keeping people safe.

The students also had the chance to dress up in some police vests. 

We are looking forward to another visit from the dog handlers later in the year, so we can see the dogs in action!
