Beach to Bush
Beach to Bush - Thriving since 1994
Shining brightly as a long-standing star within the organization for over 30 years, the Beach to Bush Program continues to dazzle as a beloved initiative by Surf Lifesaving NSW since 1994! Designed to bring the thrill of beach safety education to primary school students across regional NSW, Beach to Bush has captured the hearts of nearly 270,000 students. In action-packed sessions lasting 45 minutes, students embark on a fun-filled journey covering everything from beach and inland water safety to sun protection, mastering rips and waves, discovering sea creatures, practicing rescue techniques, and learning how to seek help from our trusty lifesavers.
