Get Hooked… It’s Fun to Fish

Join the thousands of school students in NSW who have been part of our free and fun NSW Schools Program! Our program will introduce students to all things fishy, when your school registers to the NSW DPI’s FREE Get Hooked… It’s Fun to Fish program designed for school students from Stage 2 in NSW, including High School students.

The program:

  • teaches students the basic skills necessary for recreational fishing with the view that it will become a lifelong interest
  • introduces students to the concept of sustaining quality aquatic habitats by practicing safe and responsible fishing
  • allows all NSW schools equitable access to the program
  • is delivered with all COVID safe precautions

Get Hooked… it’s Fun to Fish is made up of six teaching modules which form a Junior Fishing Code and are derived from the National Code principles. The Junior Fishing Codes have been aligned to the Australian Curriculum and meet syllabus outcomes across all Key Learning Areas in both Junior and Senior outcomes.
