Surf Safety Days
In Week 6, each Year from Grades 3-6 will attend Terrigal Beach for a Surf Safety Day run by the lifeguards at Terrigal Beach. On this these days students will have the opportunity to participate in some sand activities, talk about safety at the beach and splash around on the shoreline with some paddling and fun play.
We are looking forward to a great week and hopefully some lovely weather.
