Since the commencement of the school year, three senior boys have been volunteer members of the Murrurundi State Emergency Services (SES). Terry Hill of Year 12 and Wade Purcell and Aaron Mostyn of Year 11 have been active since joining this vital community service organisation.
They have been through a period of training, including night searches, roof damage control and First Aid, including CPR. Recently, they were marshals for the Scone Horse Festival parade along Kelly Street and Guernsey, teaming up with the Scone SES. They have embarked on a two-year training period. In the near future, these students will be trained in general emergency procedures and could find themselves called up for helping the recovery efforts for natural disasters like those experienced in Queensland in January, or in Victoria in 2009. They may be called upon to assist local police in crime scenes.
This selfless dedication to community service brings honour to themselves, their families and our school and we are very proud of their commitment.
