With the support of Royal Life Saving Australia and St John Ambulance -- we have begun a campaign for compulsory certified CPR training in all NSW high schools.
Ourcampaign is being launched amid a summer of record near-drownings. Fifty-fourpeople -- almost half of them children -- have been savedsince the start of January in NSW.
A further 2000 people have been rescued from the state's beaches since Christmas. The cost of CPR trainingis not excessive -- as little as $25 each for Year 7 students and $10 a year after that for arefresher course.
As such, we the signatories to this petition call on NSW Education Minister Adrian Piccoli and federal School Education Minister Peter Garrett to introducecompulsory certified CPR training inNSW high schools from this year.

We hit one hundred signatures in record time. Adrian Piccoli and Peter Garrett cannot keep ignoring the clear demand for lifesaving training in our schools.

The momentum we have built makes it impossible for the Education Department to keep ignoring these record numbers. Officials like Piccoli and Garrett are out of excuses while children are literally fighting for their lives in the water. We are refusing to let them stay silent on this any longer.

I can't even imagine how many lives would be saved if all teenagers knew CPR. Definently a worthy cause for such a small cost.
COMPULSORY CPR TRAINING IN EVERY SCHOOL ASAP. Its a no brainer with the cost being so low.
My brother had to do this for scouts and it gave him so much confidence. Why isnt this standard for everyone?
Every kid should leave school knowing this. You never know when you might need to save someone.
Too many drownings lately. Fix this now.
Let's get the 1000 signatures we need!
I agree that CPR should be taught in schools

Its Australia's NO 1 killer - our current 9% out-of-hospital survival rates are lower than many other similar countries. CPR training needs to start with our new generation in schools so its a second nature life long skill.
