Year 7 Beach Day

This year the Year 7 beach day at Ocean Grove was run over two days. On Thursday 25th February group 71 & 72 had beautiful weather and enjoyed and overall nice day while group 73 & 74 experienced a colder day on the 4^th of March.

The day was designed for our year 7 students to have fun, get to know each other a little better and try something new. The activities on offer were: Surfing, Beach Games and a BBQ lunch.

On both days we had a good swell running with plenty of push to give the students a fabulous surfing experience. Mr Amer, Mr Currie and Mr Klingberg were the expert instructors giving the kids the confidence to venture out into the surf. We are happy to announce that among the year 7 cohort we had some students who were able to stand up all the way to the shore. Well done!

Mr Unmack and Mr Bamford’s Great Beach Games were a great success. Students participated in a variety of activities which involved tennis ball catapult, treasure hunt for letters to create an unknown word and a “hole in my bucket” activity along with several other fun challenges.

All students had a great time, with Ms Gillet, Ms Malloy, Mr Curnick and Ms Janetzki in charge of food and beverage over both days.  The snags were cooked to perfection and the soft drink cans were nice and cold.

Thanks to Mr Klingberg, Mr Amer, Mr Bamford, Mr Goward, Mr Colbert Mrs Honeywell, Ms Wray, Mr Currie, Ms Allinson, Mr Curnick, Ms Gillet, Ms Malloy, Ms Janetzki, Joe, and Daryl.
