Out and about at Surfside

Welcome Back to Term 2

We hope that our Surfside community managed to have a restful break and a happy Easter. We hope that those who travelled throughout the break had a safe trip full of adventures and experiences.

It has been great to see our students return to term 2 with a confident and calm nature and engaging in their class based routines. We look forward to another busy and fun filled term ahead full of many achievements and celebrations. The calendar already looks full so please keep an eye on the Dates for your Diary page with an engaging and exciting term 2 ahead.
