Warkworth St John Cadets finished second in their first national youth competition, at Whangaparaoa Primary School on June 26.The Green Group, aged 8 to 10 years, competed against 16 other teams of four.
Divisional manager and primary first aid teacher Sarah Robinson, says it was a big achievement for the Warkworth division as none of the children had competed before. “We didn’t expect such a strong finish from their first competition,” she says.
“I couldn’t be any prouder. All the effort, time, learning and teamwork paid off. Our positive, can-do attitude shone through on the day.”
The competition involved CPR, first aid and communication skills. The team practised for six weeks every Saturday alongside the Penguins, aged 6 to 8 years, who also performed well in individual categories.
