School Surf Education Programs by SEA Australia

Surf Safety & Training Programs for Students During the School Term

SEA Australia’s School programs offer a balanced mix of in the surf practical training and classroom learning, designed to equip students with essential surf safety knowledge – particularly rip current awareness – and confidence in the water.

Developed in alignment with the NSW school syllabus, the courses integrate theoretical modules (like coastal geography and surf zones) with hands‑on activities such as paddling foam boards, body surfing, and practicing rip escape techniques.

Whether delivered as a full excursion or a tailored in‑school and beach experience, the program supports all students – regardless of ability, age, or cultural diversity – in gaining the skills to stay safe at the beach and enrich their engagement with the coastal environment.

Programs are entry level and designed to engage the students through fun activities and motivation via our enthusiastic instructors. The important knowledge and skills learnt within the program,  has saved lives since the program inception in 1998.

I have participated in the Surf Education program for many years across two schools and it’s excellent. Sue and the team are happy to answer any questions & the team has been excellent in adjusting the program based on the weather conditions (which is always unpredictable!). Our students come away with great knowledge and the hands on lessons provided by the instructors are always catered to the abilities of the students. Thanks, team!

We had a great experience with Seas Australia on our surf awareness excursion today. The staff were friendly, organised, and great with the kids. They explained everything clearly and made the day fun while still teaching really important water safety skills.

Our students loved it and came away feeling more confident in the surf. Thanks to the team for a fantastic day — we really appreciate it!

This was a wonderful experience, all the instructors(Nate, Oscar and Archie) all helped me on my way to be able to surf, catch waves and float. Although the rashies were a little wet, I will hundred percent revisit. If you want your kids to have the best experience of their life I recommend sending them here. They will supply you with red rashies and lots of fun!!!
