Where the bloody hell were they? Right here

LYNDHURST Secondary College’s Year 12s are losing blood for a good cause.
A group of keen students from the Cranbourne school recently set off with a volunteer Red Cross driver to visit Frankston Red Cross Donation Centre.
They answered questions about their health in a questionnaire and interview, then were told to drink at least four glasses of orange juice or water.
Year 12 student Ayes Sudhakar said they were told it would help their bodies cope with the loss of the blood.
“At first some of us were worried about how the procedure would go but as soon as we saw someone else do it, we were assured that it was safe and so easily done,” Ayes said.
“Coming off the bed we all received an appetising lunch served quite elegantly – with a waiter.
“Some of my peers were just amazed to see that we were allowed milkshakes and party pies.”
Ayes said the real reward of the whole process was the feeling of helping people who are desperately in need of blood.
“Why not donate blood when we are perfectly healthy and, more importantly, capable of helping others in this way?” he said.
