PBL - Step One

Contact The Primary



We emailed Hornby Primary and got no reply, so we rang them and organised a meeting with the principal. The meeting went well, and we talked about possible dates, and numbers of students. We now have permission to run the event.

Create a newsletter for the parents of the students at Hornby Primary and email it to the school.

A barrier could be that the primary school doesn’t want to print and distribute the newsletters, therefore we would have to ask to email the parents and up posters around the school.

Describe the issue
Water safety is a big issue as not many young people have any skills. So many drownings occur every year because no one knows how to act in bad situations in water.

Who is affected?
In the first half of 2017, there were 47 drownings in New Zealand. 10% of those were kids under 5, 18% was 15-24 year olds, and 71% was 25+. 84% were males. Males above 25 years have been involved in the most drownings.

What are the issues?
Because young and old these days don’t have enough water safety knowledge, drownings are becoming more and more common. People are going out to the beach, rivers, and swimming pools with no safety knowledge, and are being put in situations that they don’t know how to handle.

When and how did this start?
Drowning has always been a huge problem in New Zealand, and we have a higher drowning rate here than Australia, the U.S, and the UK. This years drowning toll (as of Nov. 13) is at 59, in 2016 there were 108, in 2015 there were 113, in 2014 there were 71, and in 2013 there were 107. It doesn’t seem the problem is improving, and it may get worse as the years go on.

Where is it happening?
All over the world drowning has become a huge problem. New Zealand has quite a high rate, as we are an island. The most common places drownings occur are in rivers, beaches, swimming pools, and water holes. The top of the North Island is most susceptible to drownings. The South Island had barely any in the past few years, while the North Island had many.

Why is it happening?
Drownings are becoming more and more frequent because people young and old have no water safety knowledge. While young people occasionally have water safety lessons, they usually cost a bit of money, when they should be part of the school curriculum. Many adults think it isn’t important to know how to swim, so they put it off until it’s too late.

Our plan:
Plan and execute a fun water safety afternoon for the year 5 and 6's at Hornby Primary.

Our impact:
We are teaching young people some skills so they can share them around and use them in the real world.
