During week 2, the year 5 and 6 students visited Port Noarlunga for our water safety and aquatics experience. While we were there, the year 5 students participated in water safety and swimming while the year 6 students participated in Aquatics and swimming activities.

The year 5 water safety program included surf education learning experiences while the year 6 aquatics program included surfing, snorkelling, bodyboarding, fishing, kayaking, windsurfing and stand-up paddle boarding.

Students enjoyed developing teamwork, problem solving and risk-taking opportunities with a focus on safety and swimming. Both programs were excellently delivered by the facilitators and all students actively engaged in all learning experiences and activities while representing our school exceptionally well. On the day we were supported by several parent volunteers who assisted with supervision and program support.
