Timbumburi Public School have recently taken delivery of one of our Heartsine Samaritan AED and a PAD training device to learn how to use their latest piece of life-saving equipment. School principal Jane Kibble said the AED would be a resource for the community.

"We're in an area where there isn’t one nearby. We had over 200 people here for our grandparents' day recently - the school is not only for education, it's a community hub too."

The school's P&C purchased the public access defibrillator following the ordeal of a local parent who had a heart attack during a hockey match in Tamworth, and was revived thanks to immediate CPR and the use of the Hockey Club's AED.

Ms Kibble said the school community was "shaken up" at the news and said buying the the unit was the "best thing the school could do. If something happened again, we would have a defib and would be able to have another happy ending."

P&C vice-president Ray Aslin urged other local businesses to consider getting a defibrillator.
