Beach Ed, Orewa

Water Safety

Green Bay High School has many beaches on its doorstep, therefore it is important students recognise water dangers, such as rips, and be confident in the water - especially with Summer (and Christmas holidays) just around the corner!

Beach Ed trips started yesterday, with classes M9JLA, W9AIT, W9CHO, and international students making the most of the great weather - putting their Beach Ed theory into practice at Orewa Beach.

This module is part of GBHS's PE Curriculum - Keeping Ourselves Safe unit. Students put into practice the skills and knowledge they have learned in Health. Beach Ed days also include a tour of the Surf club and equipment, meeting lifeguards, and understanding and experiencing beach conditions firsthand, in a safe controlled, and supervised environment.
