Belmont Primary School kids supporting Live Ocean by taking an icy plunge on the shortest day - 22 June

Belmont, Auckland

At 8 years old, Stevie and Jetta love the ocean but are worried about its future - climate change, pollution and over-fishing are all a real threat. Live Ocean has organised an icy ocean Winter Dip on 22 June to raise awareness for our ocean’s future.

Jetta, Stevie, and the Belmont Primary School kids who will join them in the Winter Dip on 22 June, want your help to support the charity Live Ocean Foundation in its quest for a healthy ocean for a healthy future. They are asking that you sponsor them to plunge into the cold ocean for 30 seconds (at least!), and without a wetsuit, after school at 3.30pm at Takapuna Beach.

Jetta and Stevie have made a video for the school, which you can see here: https://www.dropbox.com/s/2t4ui7ks4ycnri5/Live_Ocean_Final2.mp4?dl=0

Your donation will pay for the exceptional marine scientists, innovators and communicators who play a vital role in the fight to keep our oceans healthy for these kids, and, of course, all the marine life around New Zealand.

Parents - please come along and support, and stand by with a thermos of hot chocolate!

Here’s to brave kids, healthy oceans and all of you ❤️  27 June 2023

Jetta and Stevie and their Belmont Primary mates did their winter dip on a stormy Auckland Thursday. They have raised $5,050 for Live Ocean, and had media coverage from TV1 News, the Herald and the local paper. Here’s one of the stories linked below.

On behalf of the girls, thank you so much for your support and words of encouragement. We read every word and every donation to the girls. It has been such an incredible experience for them to have you all behind them in their support such a great cause. And for us as parents, it has been a truly beautiful thing on every level. So thank you, thank you, thank you to all of our friends, family and wonderful community ❤️
