Lunch Clubs

Here at Surfside we provide students with a range of different options for extra support and more structured play spaces throughout recess and lunch playtimes.  All of our Clubs are facillitaed by teachers and designed to support any students needing either a quieter space, or a little extra support building and maintaining frienships and social play.  We will continue to develop these opportunities throughout the year, taking into account student voice and best engagement practises.  Students can access these as and when they want (they do not need to book in or stay for the full time).

Feel free to look through the following timetable with your child and encourage them to try something new.
