🏆💚 Double Celebration for Northam! 💚🏆

We are incredibly proud to announce that St John Academy Northam has been named Division of the Year at the St John WA 2026 Volunteer Awards, while our very own Natasha (Tash) Clements has been recognised as Country Volunteer of the Year.

Tash's award recognises more than 20 years of outstanding volunteer service and her pivotal role in establishing the Northam Academy during its inaugural year. Her leadership, professionalism and compassion continue to inspire volunteers and make a lasting impact across our community.

The Academy's Division of the Year award reflects the dedication and enthusiasm of all our members. A standout achievement was the delivery of the Blue Tree Project in partnership with Avon Community Services, a youth-led initiative promoting mental health awareness, reducing stigma and encouraging important conversations about wellbeing.

Congratulations, Tash, and congratulations to every volunteer, youth member and supporter who has contributed to making Northam Academy such a remarkable success story. Your commitment to serving the community makes us all proud. 👏💚

🚑 Happy International Paramedics Day! 🚑
Today, we proudly recognise and celebrate the incredible dedication, compassion and professionalism of paramedics everywhere. International Paramedics Day is an opportunity to acknowledge the vital role paramedics and first responders play in supporting our communities and making a difference in people's lives every day.

This year's theme, "Innovate & Integrate," highlights the many ways paramedics continue to advance patient care, embrace innovation, and work collaboratively across healthcare services to deliver the best possible outcomes for those in need.

Whether responding to emergencies, providing community-based care, supporting patients with complex needs, or helping shape the future of healthcare through education and research, paramedics are at the heart of compassionate, high-quality care.

👏 Thank you to all paramedics for your unwavering commitment, resilience and expertise. Your dedication makes a lasting impact on the lives of countless individuals and families every day.
