First Aid for Motorcyclists&nbsp;provides practical, hands-on motorcycle crash management training designed specifically for riders. Built by riders, for riders, the course focuses on real-world skills such as scene management, emergency response, and providing critical assistance until professional help arrives.<p style="box-sizing: border-box; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Poppins, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; font-style: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; orphans: 2; text-align: start; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; white-space: normal; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0.9); text-decoration-thickness: initial; text-decoration-style: initial; text-decoration-color: initial;">Whether you ride every day, enjoy weekend touring, or participate in group rides, First Aid for Motorcyclists can help build your confidence and prepare you to support a fellow rider in an emergency. Learning these life-saving skills not only makes you a safer rider but also strengthens the motorcycling community by ensuring more people are ready to step up when it matters most.<p style="box-sizing: border-box;

text-decoration-style: initial; text-decoration-color: initial;">Here's what we focus on: - What to do at a crash scene (and what not to do) so you don’t make things worse - Rider-first first aid skills for the injuries we actually see on the road - Scene management + safety (traffic, bystanders, mates in shock, calling for help properly) - Real-world decision making when things go sideways because panic isn’t a plan - The “before you ride” mindset: gear, prep, awareness, and the small choices that get you home<p style="box-sizing: border-box;

Book Group - Term 4 - 2026

Join our casual, monthly Book Group.2nd Thursday of the month (during school term) - 10.30 am - 12 noon

At our Café there is no guest speaker, no advice given, no call for action. Instead, you’ll find a supportive, facilitated listening space for people to gather and share thoughts and feelings in response to the climate crisis. Here you can voice concerns that may not be welcomed or echoed elsewhere in your daily life. You’re invited to share with interested others how you’re really feeling at this challenging time.There may be laughter, there may be tears. There may be fear, there may be anger. Whatever you’re feeling is okay and valued. And it’s fine just to listen. Sharing, listening and being quiet together are all part of our Café.Gerry Fahey and Susan Nelson are the facilitators, having both completed the Climate Café training provided by Psychology for a Safe Climate.Term 4, 2026 dates:<ol><li>5 October</li><li>&nbsp;2 November</li><li>7 December</li></ol><p style='box-sizing: border-box; margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 1rem; color: rgb(51, 51, 51); font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, "Segoe UI", Roboto, "Helvetica Neue", Arial, "Noto Sans", "Liberation Sans", sans-serif, "Apple Color Emoji", "Segoe UI Emoji", "Segoe UI Symbol", "Noto Color Emoji"; font-size: 16px; font-style: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; orphans: 2; text-align: left; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; text-decoration-thickness: initial; text-decoration-style: initial; text-decoration-color: initial; background-color: rgba(244, 245, 247, 0.19);'>Registration<p style='box-sizing: border-box; margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 1rem; color: rgb(51, 51, 51); font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, "Segoe UI", Roboto, "Helvetica Neue", Arial, "Noto Sans", "Liberation Sans", sans-serif, "Apple Color Emoji", "Segoe UI Emoji", "Segoe UI Symbol", "Noto Color Emoji"; font-size: 16px; font-style: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; orphans: 2; text-align: left; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; text-decoration-thickness: initial; text-decoration-style: initial; text-decoration-color: initial; background-color: rgba(244, 245, 247, 0.19);'>Scroll down to register.
