Every two years Amesbury School looks to complete Beach Education for all ākonga (students) across the kura. This programme is in conjunction with the local Surf Life Saving group.

Beach Ed is a full-day interactive course 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. The day will be broken into three sections; theory (completed in the club house), beach activities and water activities.

To allow for a safe and smooth delivery, it is crucial for each year group to meet the ratio of 1 adult for every 5 children. If you are available and willing to help please indicate this in the consent form. Please note that adult volunteers are only required for the water based activities on the day.
