YOUTHADVANCE RESIDENTIAL PROJECT

2024 brings a continuation of our face to face residential project where you will complete an amazing 5 days of personal growth and development!

The participants will complete courses and learn strategies designed to help them live, eat and stay healthy, which is so important during school and university study as well as into the workforce and life. In addition, the participants will undertake team building activities, first aid scenarios, some fitness sessions, a short bush walk or two and camp out under the stars to develop their knowledge further.

Participants who complete the YouthAdvance Residential Project will complete the following:

1. HLTAID011 – Provide First Aid
2. Apply Fatigue Management Strategies
3. Recognise Healthy Body Systems
4. Complete fun (short) bushwalking and fitness activities
5. Undertake team building activities and initiatives

We believe that all our participants will complete this course with improved self awareness, improved knowledge and an improved #WorldReady attitude.

WHAT’S INCLUDED?

• Issue of certificates and statement of attainment for nationally recognised units of competency;
• All course paperwork resources;
• All first aid consumables;
• Camping fees for the venue;
• Facilitation of this 5 day event by our qualified and experienced trainers; and

PROGRAM OVERVIEW

The Residential Project will deliver three courses, tailored to suit the participants and their everyday life at school/university. There will be two days of classroom training and team building followed by some fitness sessions, bushwalking, and loads of first aid scenarios, team building activities, games and exercises spread throughout the course to have fun and build communication between participants as well.

HLTAID011 – Provide First Aid

The course covers assessing the casualty, providing safety, accessing emergency services, and using resources to provide first aid, such as providing CPR and using a defibrillator, management of some medical conditions including asthma, choking, anaphylaxis as well as immobilisation techniques for snake bite, fractures, sprains and strains and bleeding.

Apply Fatigue Management Strategies

This course provides the skills and knowledge required to individuals to identify and act on signs of fatigue within the workplace, including school and study. There will be some specific management strategies for identification of fatigue during activities such as driving.

Recognise Healthy Body Systems

This course covers the skills and knowledge required to work with basic information about the human body and to recognise and promote ways to maintain healthy functioning of the body. Participants will learn about the basic structure and functions of the body systems and associated components, the processes, conditions and resources required by the body to support healthy functioning, protection from infection and active and passive physical activity.

You will be notified of this via email.

 

PROGRAM DETAILS

Students will be CAMPING on the grounds of the training facility. A campfire will be lit at night (weather and potential fire ban depending). Please bring basic cooking facilities (such as a stove) to cook on.

– The tents will be set up in ONE campsite and will stay there for the duration of the camping portion of the residential – this means you can feel free to bring a camp chair, table, soccer ball and a few other creature comforts 🙂

– You will NOT be required to carry a pack with your camping gear like in an Adventurous Journey – please just bring a small day pack as well as your camping gear so that you have access to food and water and a jumper etc for the bushwalking component

– You will need to have a stove or equivalent for basic cooking (just like in an AJ) and food for ALL days (just like in an AJ) – there is NO food onsite

– There will be access to a toilet and water and there may be a shower available

– Please bring 3L drinking water to start the trip

– If you need to hire gear, please email [email protected] with what you require – it will be brought to Canoelands and you will be invoiced ahead of the journey

– Please ensure you have runners and gym clothes for the first aid and active parts of the residential. You can bring hiking boots for the bushwalking and you will be given a chance to change shoes/clothes between activities, as needed.

– The course will be run 9am-4pm each day with a 20 minute morning tea break and a 40 minute lunch break. While camping you will have time to cook breakfast etc ahead of the course starting – it will not be as regimented as an Adventurous Journey.
