In secondary years we start to see children become young adults as they begin to take on more responsibility and start to think outside of their own environment. At this stage, individuals will start to question themselves, their community, their purpose and the world around them and will seek opportunities to step outside of their comfort zone and explore the wider world, testing boundaries as they go. Young people will be looking to find a greater sense of purpose and place in the world. This is a time in which connection, inclusion and community play a vital role in supporting a young individuals overall wellbeing, health and safety.

The beach and inland waterways have many stories to tell. Through our education programs, we are bringing the beach to your class through the story of both the coastline and inland waterways water safety journey. Each program has been designed to be delivered solely in Key Learning Areas or as a Cross-Curriculum learning experience. These units focus on delivering the key water safety message that the beach is a place for everyone to safely experience the beach, coastline and inland waterways. They also give students an opportunity to further develop their literacy skills, address the Cross-Curriculum Priorities of the NSW Curriculum and give to students authentic learning by creating meaningful projects through inquiry-based tasks.
