Ocean Warrior Program launched at Tannum Sands Kindergarten

“Having the beach on our doorstep provides a fabulous learning tool for our children. Through regular engagement with the beach environment the children are connecting with nature and developing an important awareness of our local beach habitat and how to care for it,” Melissa said. It’s hoped the regular beach visits will also teach the children about the ocean, its inhabitants, local Indigenous culture, beach safety, and sun safety.

“They will also experience the sheer joy of unstructured play in a natural environment in which their communication, imagination, active learning and physical skills are all developed,” Melissa said.
