Guramaa Global Indigenous Corporation and Jervis Bay Public School delivered their new transition program for years 5 and 6 recently.
This is one of many new and exciting concepts designed in cooperation with members of the Jervis Bay Knowledge Partnership Agreement (JBKPA) the Wreck Bay Aboriginal Community Council, Jervis Bay School, Vincentia High School, the Director of National Parks Sally Barnes and Guramaa Global Indigenous Corporation.
The program was developed by the JBKPA teaching team.
It’s a part of the Guramaa Global Carving Culture and Waves program, designed to improve a student’s educational experience and entry into high school.
Jervis Bay School is an excellent school with many other creative programs and it has a small population of students that hovers around a total of 70 students.
The purpose of this program is to reduce the social and cultural impact when entering a much larger school environment at Vincentia High.
Hurley Surf Club is one of the programs supporters and club lub representatives Blake Levett and Jamie Krups helped deliver 2017 program.
“Hurley are extremely excited to deliver the Hurley Surf Club experience to Guramaa and Jervis Bay School and hope it inspires a new generation of surfers and showcases how fun and enjoyable surfing can be,” Levett said.
The teaching team is committed to making the program work and will be contacting other feeder primary schools early next year.
Their plan is to establish this as an ongoing fun surfing event, inviting other year six student to participate, creating an opportunity to socialize and possibly making new friends before they become year seven students.
