 Senior ACC River Safe Programme
This fun day is a combination of theory and river based activities.
ACC RiverSafe Senior is a classroom and river based learning programme about enjoying rivers safely. It is targeted at secondary school students and has been developed for use with levels 4, 5 and 6 of the Health and Physical Education in the New Zealand Curriculum.
The ACC RiverSafe learning programme is in two sections.
- Section 1: Getting to know rivers (classroom based)
- Section 2: Enjoying rivers safely (river based)
ACC RiverSafe Senior has been developed to work sequentially through activities to provide students with a logical learning progression. This progression builds a broad river knowledge base and then applies the knowledge gained to more specific activities in and around rivers.
Underlying concepts: River Safe addresses the four supporting concepts of the framework for Learning in Health Education and Physical Education, well- being hauora, health promotion, socio-ecological perspectives, attitudes & values.
River Safe has been designed primarily for the Outdoor Education key area of learning.
Examples of learning outcomes that can be achieved through this programme are:
- Level 4: Strand A Personal health and physical development, risk management
- Level 5: Strand C Relationships with other people, interpersonal skills
- Level 6: Strand D Healthy communities and environment, people and the environment
River Safe can also be linked to the social studies, geography, mathematics, science & technology curricula.
Each student will receive a RiverSafe Certificate upon completion of the day’s activities. This programme is excellent preparation for rafting trips and also fantastic life skills for kiwi kids who have ready access to many great water activities.
