Hazelwood College

Lifesaver Project

One of the most important outings of the school year as LC1, TY and LCA 1 students attend the in Limerick. This initiative is supported by An Garda Siochana, Limerick Ambulance Service, the HSE, Limerick City and County Fire Service and the Road Safety Department of Limerick City and County Council. The reenactment and presentation is not for the faint hearted as it hammers home the dangers and harsh realities of taking to the road. Parents/Guardians of those who attended may like to discuss the experience with students as there are important lessons to be learned for road users of all ages.

Lifesaver

Hazelwood College students recently attended the Lifesaver Project, which was a day long programme organised by the Road Safety Authority for Fifth Year, Transition Year and Leaving Certificate Applied students. The Lifesaver Event is a joint event between all the State agencies involved in car crash situations and recovery, i.e. the Fire and Ambulance Services, the Gardai, Hospital Emergancy Staff. It is an event designed to show students the ‘real’ effects of car crashes and their aftermath.
