Surf Safety Days
Next week, 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.
Students must wear their full sports uniform with enclosed shoes (including GPCC hat) as we will be at school for the beginning and end of the day. Girls may wear swimmers underneath and boys may wear their boardshorts. Rash shirts will be provided.
We are looking forward to a great week and hopefully some lovely weather.
