Parent Testimonials
“Great experience for kids to learn and have fun in a supportive environment. Very impressed with the different activities that have been undertaken and the guest speakers engaged. I only wish there was an equivalent CASE Ocean School for parents!”
“It was extremely well organised, and the program was absolutely fantastic. The experiences my child had and the care that was taken to ensure she got the most out of the program and enjoyed her time away was amazing. I am so pleased with the entire program. My daughter loved it and would love to go again. From the very first information evening until the arrival home, the entire process was fantastic and the experiences while away were second to none.”
“Rewarding and enriching life experience for an adolescent. My daughter really enjoyed her experiences with ocean school. She formed some amazing friendships over the 12 days. Thank you for the organisation and keeping the students safe while they were away.”
“My child really enjoyed the involvement on the Science based activities, and the number and range of opportunities and activities was fairly extensive for the cost. My child had the opportunity for independence and growth in confidence.”
“It provided James with an enriching experience in not only STEM activities but also pushing him out of his comfort zone, growth opportunities, friendships made and such a broad range of activities. James also loved the food and independence.“
“Although we felt Tom was one of the younger students, he had a great time meeting students & leaders who shared the same passion about marine life & oceans. Being able to listen to experts in this field & attend Universities has further enhanced his passion. Overall, it was an incredible experience for him & he enjoyed every minute.“
“Superbly organized and kept the students very busy. Our son barely called us at all, he said he was too busy and having the time of his life. Socially, it was a fantastic to be with a group of positive kids. The day of snorkelling on the barrier reef was an absolute highlight. This was a fabulous experience that teenagers need – combining social and educational in a really fun way.”
“My daughter had a wonderful time, made new friends, was well cared for and had experiences which will assist in her career choices.”
“CASE Senior Ocean School provided our daughter with such a life changing experience. Danni now has a deepened interest in science, an invoked passion for marine science and a strong, focused future direction.”
Student Testimonials
“I learnt a lot about myself and the people who were here with me. In addition, I learnt so much I didn’t know and expanded my knowledge about things I didn’t know about the ocean. There was so much to do, definitely something for everyone. I had a great time.”
“I have had such an incredible time. I’ve met some awesome people and visited some amazing places like Fitzroy Island and the Great Barrier Reef. We’ve had the most incredible opportunities and I’m so grateful.”

“Ocean School has taught me so much not just about the ocean but about the effects we ourselves on the ocean. I met heaps of new people, and I would definitely recommend it to others. Overall, an amazing experience.”
“My time at CASE Ocean school was really jam packed and I learned new things every day. I got to meet lots of new friends and experienced things that I will always remember. This program helped me figure out who I am and what areas of science I am interested in and what areas I want to future explore. Overall, I have come away with new knowledge and a new mindset.”
“Throughout CASE Ocean School I have met many new people and made so many new friendships. I have learnt lots about marine biology in general as well as coral and the conditions that it needs to be able to grow, and how to ensure the best conditions to keep reefs healthy and pretty. We learnt how to problem solve successfully and use a growth mindset through the help of the growth mantras and the team challenges.”
“I learnt more about ocean sustainability. I learnt about the growth mindset and managed to become more optimistic. I was able to develop leadership and project management skills. Overall, I enjoyed CASE Ocean School and found it valuable.”
“I had the best time in CASE Ocean School, I came in knowing I wanted to go into marine science, and it really solidified that for me. It also opened more doors and showed me a whole new world of marine science. I met some really amazing people that I will keep long connections with. And I learnt from some really passionate people who were very excited to show us what they do. I’m very grateful for what I learnt and what I will take back home to be able to apply to school and life.”
“I believe I learnt very valuable leadership skills, which I will take back to school and throughout my university career. I also developed my communication skills. This will help in many areas moving forward.”
“I really enjoyed CASE Ocean School and I feel it has met my expectations!! I have made so many new friends and met so many amazing more people! I have learnt so much about marine biology, aquaculture and how humans are connected to the coral reefs. I enjoyed the activities such as snorkelling and learning about the indigenous culture.”
