Free Fishing Kits

Victorian State Government 'Little Anglers' initiative

The Victorian Government is investing $1.5 million to provide FREE ‘Little Angler Kits’ to all primary aged students at specialist schools, including Verney Road School.

This initiative aims to grow recreational fishing participation in Victoria by actively encouraging primary school aged children to learn how to fish, as well as learning more about marine life and the natural environment.

The kits include a rod, reel with line, tackle tray, some tackle and information on how to use them to catch a fish.

Please note that the tackle tray includes fishing hooks and lead sinkers. The tackle tray will be wrapped in cardboard and placed inside a pocket inside the fishing kit bag, which will be sealed with a cable tie to discourage students from opening their kits until they are with a parent or carer. We are unable to send these home on buses for safety reasons.

These free fishing kits can be collected by parents & carers from the VRS Front Office.
