On Monday 19 and 26 October, Year 9 participated in a Surf Awareness Day at Manly. <\/span><\/p>\n

The long bus ride was all worth it, when we saw the glistening blue water, felt the sun heating our skin (this should have been a sign to put more sunscreen on) and heard the crashing waves. Across the two days we learnt about the importance of being safe in the water. <\/span><\/p>\n

Guided by our group leaders, we took part in fun and enjoyable activities such as surf skills and the significance of floating when in a rip. Despite the tiredness and exhaustion at the end of the day, our grade united and came together to have an exciting day in the water. <\/span><\/p>\n

Lastly, we finished the day on a high note by participating in beach relays, where we practiced our newly learnt skills of dolphin diving and wading. These activities allowed us to gain knowledge on how to stay safe while also having a fun day! Overall this experience taught us about the importance of beach safety and rip knowledge. <\/span><\/p>\n

Thank you to all the teachers and the instructors who helped teach us these skills and made this day so fun!<\/span><\/p>\n
