Surfing Excursion

Surfing in Broulee 

The Year 9 Sports Studies students embarked on a two-day, overnight surfing excursion to Broulee, staying at the NRMA Holiday Park. 

This practical experience was designed to complement their curriculum by providing hands-on learning in water-based physical activities, focusing on surfing as a sport, ocean safety, teamwork, and personal skill development.

Day 1 Highlights:

• Zanthe was the first to catch a wave.
• Cruze earned "Best on Waves" for the day.
• Milla and Gabi amusingly didn’t know the difference between the front and back of their wetsuits.

• Everyone caught at least part of a wave.

   

Day 2 Highlights:

• Ruben caught the first wave of the day.
• Two hours of Stand-Up Paddleboarding followed, with encounters with huge, friendly local stingrays.
• Students showed signs of tiredness but had a unique and eye-opening experience engaging with the surf and beach environments.
• Enjoying a fun bus ride home listening to cricket on ABC radio.

Lots of fun was had by all students. Well done!
