2026 Mairangi Bay Yr 4 & 5 Beach Trip
March 6, 2026
In February, Mt Carmel Year 4 and 5 students enjoyed an exciting day at Mairangi Bay to learn about beach safety.
The lifeguards from Surf Lifesaving New Zealand explained the importance of swimming between the flags, how to identify a rip and what to do if you ever get caught in one. They also went over some important sun safety tips. The students loved being shown the life-saving equipment, especially the IRB!
These skills were then transferred to the water where the students 'saved' each other using rescue tubes and finally ended the day with boogie board races.
The highlight of the day was spending the afternoon in the sea boogie boarding and participating in water confidence activities.
