The Sea School 293 Esplanade, Redland Bay, Queensland 4165

Welcome to The Sea School, located at Redland Bay, Esplanade, 293 in Australia. Our institution, Blue Peter, is a training organization that focuses on fun and personal development through adventurous expeditions in the marine environment. Whether you're interested in sailing, knot tying, or exploring the wonders of the sea, our tailored programs cater to a wide variety of interests.

At Blue Peter, we understand that skippering a small boat and crewing effectively can be both daunting and exhilarating. We believe that there is always something new to learn and improve upon. Each person's journey is unique, and we encourage and support the full spectrum of skills and personality types required to make an excellent expedition crew. After all, human nature is diverse for a very good reason!

Imagine the most memorable moments of your life. Taking the helm, smelling the breath of a dugong, starting a fire with sticks, reefing the sails before a white squall, watching the sun set over the sea, or gazing at the night sky with new friends. Sailing offers a wonderful and connected flow experience, similar to horse riding or surfing, as it brings us alive with another force and closer to nature... our nature.

"The best camp ever" is a common feedback we receive, thanks to our exceptional skippers and friends at Blue Peter. Their unique approaches to learning, connection, and fun, combined with the vibrant and natural environment of Quandamooka country, are real highlights of our expeditions.

Undertaking intense, adventurous, and challenging experiences teaches us valuable lessons in positive communication, supportive teamwork, careful decision making, and shared leadership. However, if you choose not to participate in these activities, that is perfectly okay too. We believe that we can still learn by watching and sharing stories. Every day is an opportunity to create new experiences.

Our sail training activities are designed as sequenced experiences to help you gain complex skills and develop your capacity for personal growth. Our philosophy of journeying "all in the same boat" encourages shared leadership as members of an expedition community. This way, we learn to contribute more of the unique skills we each carry. These realizations are life-changing and continue to grow with each new journey.

The metaphors of sailing are rich and full of examples that help us navigate, trim the sails, and take the helm on this great journey called life. We prioritize careful risk management and maintain high ratios of skilled skippers and mates to ensure a culture of support, safety, fun, mentorship, and learning.

"The Blue Peter" is a maritime signal flag representing the letter "P" and has a long history meaning "ready to sail." It calls the crew to action when flown by a ship preparing to get underway. Maritime activities for youth development, such as those conducted by Sea Scouts, Outward Bound, The Duke of Edinburgh Award Scheme, and other excellent programs, all stem from a foundation of expeditionary learning approaches popularized by Kurt Hahn many years ago.
