Our Marine Program

Connecting Sea, Land and Culture

The AFL Cape York House Marine Program is a positive initiative aimed at enriching the lives of our boarding students through a strong connection with Sea, Land and Culture.

This program is creating opportunities that go beyond education by nurturing a deep appreciation for our natural surroundings. At its core, the Marine Program seeks to provide our young boarders with real life experiences on the water and along the shores of our breathtaking coastline. Through hands-on activities, educational excursions, and cultural engagements, we aim to instil a sense of leadership and integrity for our marine environment while honouring the rich cultural heritage that defines our region.

This initiative is not only about learning, but about forging lifelong connections with the land and sea that surround us. By integrating these experiences into their daily lives, our students gain practical skills and knowledge as well as developing a profound respect for the ecosystems that sustain us all.

Join us on this journey as we embark on meaningful adventures, exploring the wonders of our marine world and celebrating the diverse cultures that shape our community. Together, we can inspire a generation of young leaders who are committed to preserving our natural heritage and embracing the spirit of unity that defines the AFL Cape York House experience.

By purchasing our products, you are helping us to create more positive life experiences for our young people and their futures, with career opportunities and basic life skills as well as positive wellbeing outcomes.
