With assistance from Mothers Against Drunk Driving, members of the Goulds fire department, Barrett’s Funeral Home, the RNC, St. John Ambulance, and Eastern Health, St. Kevin’s High School last week hosted a mock disaster to show students the consequences of impaired and reckless driving. The school typically hosts a mock disaster every three to four years. “The whole idea is to educate students and raise awareness about the dangers of driving under the influence, whether of alcohol or drugs, and especially of distracted driving,” said St. Kevin’s teacher Nicole Clarke. “It shows them what could be the worst-case scenario.” Roughly 10 students participated in the demonstration, and those students began meeting with Gerry Antle of the Goulds Fire Department back in late April to begin planning the event.
