Surf's Up in Lancelin

The 6C class recently spent three sensational days in Lancelin with the Outdoor Education team. During their stay, the students built on their understanding of beach safety and surf awareness, while developing their confidence in a marine environment.

Some of the highlights included taking part in Surfing lessons each day, camping out in tents with their buddies, working as a cohesive team in 'The Amazing Race' and catching a variety of fish off the Lancelin Jetty. Throughout their stay, the boys also gained a real insight into the history surrounding Lancelin and the characteristics of the area and the surrounding ecosystems.

It was a fun-filled, action-packed few days, which would not have been possible without the expertise and guidance of Mr Steele, Miss Bacon and Mr Templar. All students thoroughly enjoyed the opportunity to develop their practical skills and be challenged in a dynamic learning environment.
