June 2016 Recipients
Bellevue School in Wellington received $1,925 to provide buses to transport the whole school to water safety education at Lyall Bay Surf Lifesaving Club.
Water safety education is designed to educate children on how to stay safe and enjoy themselves around water, and in turn works to reduce New Zealand’s drowning statistics.
The school’s beach education will be held in term 4, 2016 and is a full school day where children get to learn about their local beach environment, surf and sun safety and participate in beach games and water activities.
