The Stand Up Boys did a fantastic job at feeding the very hungry Year 7 and 8s who participated in Surf Week over the last fortnight. Thank you to Henry Teofilo and Micaiah Te Rata for working with the group and giving them the opportunity to give back to our school community.

Year 8 Surf Week
After a year of restrictions and rescheduling in 2021, the Year 8 Cohort were fortunately able to undertake a belated Surf Week to end the term and year on a high note. As part of the week’s roster of activities, students waded through waves at Bondi Beach, raced in relays at Cook and Phillip Pool, kayaked across glassy waters at Rose Bay, and soaked up the sun at Bondi Icebergs. Along the way, each group learned a variety of skills to help them feel more comfortable and confident in the water. As a cohort, we’d like to thank Mr Flack, Mr McNaught, and the entire PDHPE faculty and other participating staff members for making this week possible. We very easily could have missed out on this great Year 7 tradition, but have benefited immensely from the efforts made to get us out on the water.
