Surf Life Saving

This year a group of our Senior students have been involved in a Surf Life Saving co-curricular activity. This activity has also allowed the students involved to gain nationally recognised qualifications and can lead to a Certificate III in Public Safety and Aquatic Rescue.

Max, Cole, Ryan and Lucas have also patrolled a beach for the first time as life savers and have sat their Bronze Medallion exam. Mitchell Lunn (Year 10 Jeffries), Natasha Leck (Year 10 Carter) and Emily Green (Year 10 Heaslip) also sat the exam.
