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.

•          Parents are responsible for transport to and from the different venues.

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.

Participation in this program is limited with only 24 places available. Spots will be given on a first served basis.

Well done to Hudson on these fantastic results.
