Year’s 2 – 5 Learn to Surf Program

As part of our school surfing program, we are pleased to announce that we will be offering a four week Learn to Surf Program for students in Years 2 – 5 this term. The program will be run through North Caloundra Surf School in conjunction with Pacific Lutheran College staff.  A range of topics will be covered in this four-week program including: reading ocean conditions, board handling and developing fundamental movements such as balance, agility and coordination.

Details of the program are as follows:

•          Monday mornings before school, 6:00am arrival for a 6:15am start. Sessions will conclude at 7:15am.

•          Program begins on Monday 21st October (Week 4 ) and runs through to Monday 11th November (Week 7).

•          Students will surf at various Caloundra beaches (Kings, Dicky’s, Happy Valley) depending upon conditions.

A portion of the cost of the program will subsidised through the College but will still cost $20 per student which will cover four surfing sessions as well as use of a foam surfboard and wet shirt supplied through North Caloundra Surf School.

 PLC Prep – 6 Auskick and Superkick Program

After the recent success of the Brisbane Lions winning the AFL premiership, students last week from Prep – 6 had the opportunity to take part in an introductory Auskick and Superkick session during their PE lesson. These sessions were designed to introduce students to the fundamentals skills of kicking and hand passing required in AFL.

On the back of these sessions AFL Queensland will be running a 6 week program for both Auskick (Prep -2 students) and Superkick (Year 3-6 students) here at the College. The program will run from 3:15 – 4:15pm on Wednesday afternoons. Families are able to register their child for a “Come and Try” free session for the first week to see if they would like to commit to the program.
