Just prior to Australia Day, some of south-east Queensland’s littlest surf goers were instructed on how to be safe at our beaches over the summer.
On January 23rd, Edge Early Learning partnered with Surf Life Saving Australia to educate children at their South Brisbane centre. An effort to raise awareness about beach safety and reduce beach related incidences.
One of Australia’s highly trained lifeguards visited the South Brisbane centre last week to instruct a group of children aged three to five about the safest parts of the beach to play in and how to look out for danger.
Surf Life Saving did a fantastic job at bringing this all together in a fun and interactive way. Teaching the children; from learning the meaning of different coloured flags, to what to do if found in danger.
In addition to the beach safety presentations, our Educators also set up a water play day for the children, using the centre’s sprinklers, water troughs and a built-in water play station, followed by a barbecue lunch.
Edge Early Learning’s experienced Educators are passionate about making learning interactive and enjoyable, and by incorporating initiatives such as Surf Life Saving Australia’s beach safety demonstration, they are able to provide the best possible learning outcomes for children in their care, whether they be at the beach or in the classroom.
