CPR Flashmob for British Heart Foundation.
Varndean's York Place Diner 1884 was victim to a flashmob today, all in aid of the British Heart Foundation's challenge to teach students hands only CPR.
Lunchtime was interrupted by the sounds of the Bee Gees' 'Stayin' Alive', to help keep the perfect rhythm for chest compressions, and a film featuring Vinnie Jones raising awareness.
The British Heart Foundation is the chosen charity of Ellis School, and today's event served as a reminder and refresher for many students of this invaulable life skill.
In December all Year 7s were taught this invaluable life skill on High Impact Day, Year 9 were taught it last year and Year 8s will be learning it on July 15th on the next High Impact Day.
Our Year 7s were lucky enough today to have author, illustrator and former Children's Laureate @chrisriddell50 meet with them over Zoom! A massive thank you to Mr Katz for organising this once-in-a-lifetime event! @VarndeanBooks https://t.co/AfNkfnOu0c
