Year 12 Aquatic Practices

For one of the Year 12 Aquatic Practices units, our students gain an understanding of changes to the local waterways because of recent flooding events, learn how to interpret nautical navigation maps and identify how to read and calculate tide heights for both primary ports and secondary places. 

Having completed their online modules, they are then required to put their knowledge to the test by completing a 45-minute theory test and accompanied by a qualified instructor, demonstrate their safe boating techniques to successfully obtain their boat license, which all our students achieved. This course is an important precursor to pieces of assessment for Year 12 whilst providing them with an opportunity to gain valuable hands-on experience with the recreational and commercial boating industry.

Our students consistently engage with courtesy and respect when communicating with members of the community and are constantly praised for the way they conduct themselves.
