St Wolstan’s is one of 36 schools across Ireland to be recognised, with a total of 57 awards presented this year.
St Wolstan’s Community School in Celbridge has been honoured with the Irish Heart Foundation's CPR 4 Schools award, recognising its exceptional efforts in training students in cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR).
The accolade is part of a national initiative by the Irish Heart Foundation to promote lifesaving skills among young people.
St Wolstan’s is one of 36 schools across Ireland to be recognised, with a total of 57 awards presented this year.
The CPR 4 Schools programme, since its inception, has involved 2,630 teachers across 649 post-primary schools, reaching over 350,000 students nationwide.
The initiative aims to equip students with the skills to respond effectively in cardiac emergencies, including performing CPR, using an automated external defibrillator (AED), and assisting someone who is choking.
Brigid Sinnott, Resuscitation Manager with the Irish Heart Foundation, praised the commitment of participating schools, noting that their dedication to teaching CPR is making a significant impact in communities.
"These schools are, quite literally, the beating heart of the programme," she said.
