Beach Awareness / Beach Safety

Each Summer the students in grades 3 to 6 have the opportunity to be involved in a Beach Awareness / Beach safety program.
 

The children are bussed to a local beach where they are involved in a number of different beach activities including paddle boarding, snorkeling, rescuing techniques, riding a 'sea biscuit' behind the police speedboat and general activities to increase awareness and confidence when swimming in the bay.
 

The children are also involved in special lessons at school which concentrate on safety aspects such as identifying a rip and how to deal with being caught up in a rip.
 

The Senior Sub School children usually combine bike riding when they are involved in the Police Boat program, giving a broad base to their Outdoor Education activities.
