Marine and Maritime Studies
The revised Marine and Maritime Technology syllabus (now known as Marine and Maritime Studies) has been reaccredited by Council for teaching and examination from 2011.
Course Summary
The Marine and Maritime Studies course provides students with the opportunity to study the sea and how people interact with it. It provides students with opportunities to engage in unique theoretical and practical learning experiences, and to equip them with a broad range of skills and knowledge.
Students are given the opportunity to develop responsible and competent boat-handing and navigation skills under power and/or sail and in doing so demonstrate an understanding of nautical concepts. They develop knowledge of the properties inherent in seaworthy craft and the basics of good boat design, construction and maintenance. Students will also be provided with the opportunity to develop water–based skills (swimming/snorkelling/scuba) to allow them to engage directly with the marine environment.
Students investigate oceanography concepts to develop a strong understanding of the interdependence between components of the marine environment, conduct research into the safe and sustainable management of the oceans’ resources and are also introduced to the world of maritime archaeology.
