Strict legislation has recently been put in place outlining very specific guidelines that must be adhered to when a student group is in a water environment. In order to comply with these guidelines no student will be permitted to enter the surf whilst we are at Austinmer. According to this legislation only students involved in sanctioned learning programs can enter the surf. Any student wishing to swim will be able to do so in the ocean pools at Austinmer Beach.
Constant supervision will be provided but it is a mandatory requirement for all students present to wear a wristband indicating their level of swimming proficiency. All students must wear these wristbands regardless of whether they enter the water or not.
The students can wear appropriate mufti clothing on the day and whilst sunscreen will be provided it is encouraged that they bring their own sun protection. In the interests of skin safety, singlet tops or shoe string straps are not to be worn. Offensive pictures or slogans on clothing is unacceptable and t-shirts/rash shirts must be worn at all times, including in the water, by all students. Thongs and sandals are permitted whilst we are at the beach but students will be required to wear closed toe footwear whilst on the College grounds and on the bus.
Supervised access to the limited food facilities will take place although it is also encouraged that students provide a healthy range of food and drink for the day.
