Babysitting Certification Course
The Community Schools Team is excited to offer a full day Babysitting Certification Course for students in grades 6&7 on Friday, May 5 from 9am to 5pm (school is not in session this day). The course will cover basic first aid, and teach how to respond to choking, bleeding, poisoning and burns as well as covering child care skills and the rights and responsibilities of a babysitter. Students must attend the whole day (9am-5pm) to be certified as a Canadian Red Cross Babysitter. Registration forms are available outside the school office. Students should bring enough snacks and lunch for the entire day as food will not be provided.
Please contact Dianne Sankey (CST Programmer) at dsankey@vsb.bc.ca with any questions.
School is closed Friday and Monday for Good Friday and Easter. Enjoy the long weekend. See you on Tuesday, April 18!
