Year 5 - 7 Aquatics
Each year, the Year 5, 6 & 7 students attend Port Noarlunga Aquatic Centre for 5 x 1½ hour Aquatic sessions as part of the Health and Physical Education Curriculum.
A lack of swimming skills does not interfere with a child’s ability to become involved in the program which involves the use of buoyancy vests and wet suits where necessary and emphasises water confidence and beach safety strategies.
Year 5 students will be taking part in water safety lessons for the week.
Year 6 and 7 students will nominate preferences for their involvement in the programmed activities. Activities offered include kayaking, boogie boarding, windsurfing, wave skiing, surfing, snorkelling, SUP paddling and fishing.
