Parents and spectators will be welcome to attend the carnival.

Independent District Surfing Competition

Well done to Sam Williams, Kate Williams, Sam Princehorn and Scott Hiley who competed at the Independent District Surfing Contest last Thursday at Peregian. The students had pumping conditions on the day with good consistent waves and offshore winds all day.

Well done to Sam Williams who was selected in the Independent District team and will now progress to Sunshine Coast Regional Surfing Trials held at Coolum in early June.
