Course Overview

The Beach Ed programme includes clubhouse, beach and water activities. Students will use critical thinking in order to learn life saving knowledge; including how to identify and escape from rip currents, and how to practise safe and fun ocean activities.

Beach Ed is a full-day interactive course taught at select beaches across the country, delivered in a controlled and safe manner. All of the instructors are fully qualified Surf Lifeguards who have also completed a course on safeguarding children. 

Tamariki will be transported to and from the venue by bus on the day. A consent form plus more details on what they will need to bring will be shared at a later date.

Given the higher adult to student ratio around water we must meet the recommended guidelines of 1 adult for every 5 children. We would greatly appreciate your help on this day and ask for you to confirm your availability with Eilís via email on eilis@amesbury.school.nz

Kind regards,

Eilís
