Thurston helps students be disaster ready

St Joseph’s Catholic Primary School, Wandal were chosen as this year’s winners of the Get Ready Queensland Schools Competition, securing a visit to the school by Get Ready Queensland Ambassador, Jonathan Thurston.

The Rugby League star spoke to students about the importance of being prepared for natural disasters, to know your risk, to make a plan and to have an emergency kit ready.

Emergency services were also on hand to give students a close up look at their vehicles and answer questions about responses to natural disasters.

Students also had the chance to find out more about JT’s sporting career before heading to the playground for a chance to toss the footy around with one of Queensland’s Rugby League legends.
