Students take part in a range of activities, including:

• Familiarisation of the Resource Centre

• Athletics Standards Day
• Peer Support Program run by Senior Students
• Introduction to Rowing program
• Resource based learning activities

The students are also encouraged to take part in a 3 day aquatics camp at Horshoe Bay, Pt Elliot, with accomodation at the Encounter Conference Centre, Victor Harbor. The camp is an essential part of the Transition Program. It provides students with the opportunity to develop relationships with staff, students and further develop aquatics skills.
