Overview
SC Surfschools ‘Safe Surfing’ packages are fun, participation based ‘surf specific’ programs designed for
upper primary and secondary school students and community groups. Our programs provide students
with a blend of physical, social and environmental decision-making and action situations of progressively
increasing complexity in a safe and structured environment.
What is the ‘Safe Surfing’ program
It is a joint initiative supported by the Federal Government through Aus Sport and the governing body of
the sport of surfing – Surfing Australia. The aim of the ‘Safe Surfing’ program is to take entry-level surfers to
a level of competency where they can participate safely in the sport and enjoy their time in the ocean
environment.
Delivery
SC Surfschools ‘Safe Surfing’ programs are delivered by fully qualified and accredited Level 1 Surfing
Queensland surf coaches. Each coach holds a current Blue Card, Surf Rescue or Bronze Medallion,
Senior First Aid and Advanced Resuscitation certificates.
Student Development
SC Surfschools ‘Safe Surfing’ programs are designed to enable students to participate in either a ’oneoff’
or an ongoing surfing development program, creating pathways of participation and competencies
that will provide them with the essential skills to guide them to a lifetime participation of safe surfing.
