PROGRAMME STRUCTURE
AUT Millennium Schools Programme will work with your school to create a programme that suits your needs.
Theory sessions are offered for certain year levels, and an instructor can deliver these at schools or poolside.
Practical pool sessions are usually 30 minutes to two hours long, depending on your school requirements.
Coastguard Boating Education New Zealand endorses the AUT Millennium Schools Water Safety programme as part of their Safe Boating Education programme.
Coastguard Boating Education has been working with AUT Millennium since 2007 to deliver the Safe Boating Programme. The team at AUT Millennium are dedicated to delivering the programme with as much practical hands-on experience as they can, giving each student the skills to be safe while out on the water. The Safe Boating Programme provides a practical in-water experience for both swimmers and non-swimmers. Participants will gain the skills and confidence to keep them safe when boating. Each participant receives an official Coastguard Boating Education Safe Boating certificate.” – Julia Bryant, Coastguard Boating Education Safe Boating Training Coordinator.
