Epilepsy Awareness Day took place at St Joseph's on Friday 30th April. Students were given purple ribbons and shown videos regarding how to administer first aid for when someone is having a seizure.

Epilepsy Awareness Day is an important day for many members of our school. Awareness of this disease is important because it can be incredibly dangerous if someone suffers a seizure and it is not dealt with accordingly.

Primary and Secondary students each watched different films on what to do if they were to find someone in the middle of a seizure, with Senior students, Taylah Whiticker and Kiara Osbourne speaking about Epilepsy to students on the Primary campus.

It was a great day, and it is good to know that students will now know what to do in the future if someone has an epileptic seizure.
