P.A.R.T.Y program - Mount Lawley Senior High School

Our amazing P.A.R.T.Y program hosted Year 11 students from Mount Lawley Senior High School yesterday.

The award-winning P.A.R.T.Y (Prevent Alcohol and Risk-related Trauma in Youth) Program has been run out of Royal Perth Hospital since 2006 and aims to educate young people about risk-taking behaviours that may cause death or injury.

The students who attended Wednesday's event were taken on a tour of the RPH emergency department and the intensive care unit and listened in on several talks given by those who know all too well about traumatic injuries.

Among those who spoke was Perth teenager Will Terry, who was rushed to RPH in 2022 after he suffered a devastating spinal injury. Will now works for the Paraplegic Benefit Fund and has given dozens of inspirational talks to the P.A.R.T.Y program.

Judging by all of these photos, everyone had a terrific time (even the teachers) and learned a great deal in the process.

Thank you to Mount Lawley Senior High School for being such wonderful guests.

RAC bstreetsmart

EMHS is proud to have a long running association with the RAC’s bstreetsmart road safety campaign. 

Every year the bstreetsmart event features a live crash scene re-enactment, responses from real-life paramedics, firefighters and police, and first-hand accounts from road trauma victims. 
This year, more than 150 WA schools attended the event at RAC Arena over March 25 and 26 - meaning over 100,000 Year 10 to 12 students have now taken part in the event since it started in 2012.

As in previous years, members of our amazing State Major Trauma Unit at Royal Perth Hospital attended the event. Dr Jeni Thomas and Dr Rohit Sarvepalli both played the role of narrators representing RPH. Our amazing Trauma Program Manager Lola Sikora helped with the coordination of the narration, while retired RPH surgeon Dr Sudhakar Rao was a guest speaker. 

This year’s event was also a terrific opportunity for RPH to highlight its award-winning P.A.R.T.Y (Prevent Alcohol and Risk-related Trauma in Youth) Program, which has been run out of RPH since 2006.
P.A.R.T.Y. Coordinator Simon Beebe was on hand to answer questions about the program, which aims to educate young people about risk-taking behaviours that may cause death or injury. The students who attended this week’s event were even shown by the RPH team some practical and life-saving medical skills, such as how to perform CPR and how to apply a tourniquet.

Great job team! You truly are wonderful.
