Beach Safe Program

Operating in South-East Queensland the Beach Safe program delivers vital surf safety messages to primary school children via classroom surf education sessions from volunteer surf lifesavers.

Each year the program travels to 100 schools, educating 25,000 students on how to stay safe on Queensland beaches.

Armed with beach signs, safety flags and rescue boards, the practical 45-60 minute session involves the FLAGS principle, warning signs, a demonstration of basic surf rescue equipment and an interactive session to teach children important safety skills in a fun and interactive environment.
