Water Skills for Life Workshop

Papatoetoe Intermediate has been funded for 4 hours of Water Skills for Life Workshops per student in 2026. This means that students travel to local pools and learn practical skills around the water. These workshops are run by qualified instructors.

These are not swimming lessons, these are workshops based on how to enjoy the water safely, they involve using lifejackets, rescue and survival techniques, entering and exiting the water in different situations along with other skills and knowledge.
