Awareness on Health and Life Skills to Ensure Resiliency and Training for Well-being
To strengthen emergency preparedness among student leaders and future health professionals, Roxas Stand-Alone Senior High School conducted a two-day First Aid Training on February 18โ19, 2026, at the RSASHS Gymnasium. The activity gathered Grade 12 STEM students, Health Advocates Club (HAC) members, newly elected SSLG officers, and incumbent SSLG officers.
The initiative was spearheaded by HAC Adviser Maria Rosario Espiritu, SSLG Adviser Angelica M. Battung, and Grade 12 STEM teacher Erickson Barrozo in coordination with the Isabela Provincial Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Office (PDRRMO). The training was facilitated by PDRRMO personnel: Sir Tedie G. Gangan, Sir Ernesto A. Dacquil, and Sir Karl Angelo C. Castaรฑeda, who provided both theoretical discussions and hands-on demonstrations.
During the two-day session, participants were equipped with essential first aid skills necessary in responding to emergencies. The training covered proper bandaging techniques, correct lifting and transferring of injured individuals, splinting procedures, and basic emergency response protocols. Students were also given opportunities to practice these skills through guided simulations and demonstrations.
The facilitators emphasized the importance of remaining calm, alert, and responsive during crisis situations. They highlighted that immediate and proper first aid response can significantly reduce the severity of injuries and potentially save lives while waiting for professional medical assistance.
Through PROJECT ALERT, the school continues to promote health awareness, leadership readiness, and resilience among students. The activity not only enhanced participantsโ practical skills but also reinforced the value of responsibility, preparedness, and service to the community.
The successful conduct of the training reflects RSASHSโs commitment to fostering well-rounded learners who are capable of responding effectively to real-life emergencies.
