Emmanuel Catholic College Curriculum Handbook
Year 10

Maritime

Maritime encompasses the skills and knowledge that students need when participating in activities either on or under the water. Students will learn boating concepts, navigation and emergency procedures such as survival at sea and firefighting. Students will investigate vessel stability, navigation techniques and general seamanship.  

In this highly practical subject, students will be given the opportunity to complete the Recreational Skipper’s Ticket (RST) which is a marine safety program for powerboats in Western Australia. It certifies that the holder has the minimum level of theoretical and practical skill in the safe handling of powerboats, and is nationally recognised. Successful completion of the RST will also contribute points towards the Western Australian Certificate of Education (WACE).
