Marine Studies

Marine Studies

Teachers: Ms Alessia Contarin, Mr Ben Deans , Ms Jodie Hirst, Mr Zac McKenzie and Mr Kane Van Elsland  – qualified and certified teachers of Marine Studies

The study of Marine and Aquaculture Technology provides an opportunity for the future custodians of this environment to study it and to appreciate its value. It gives them the opportunity to develop the necessary knowledge and skills to use and protect its unique ecosystems, and at the same time communicate their appreciation to the community.

There is a heavy focus on the practical component of the course, with much of our time spent in or near the water.
