Schools – Primary & Secondary
From city to country, public to private, schools keep coming back to us year after year to teach surfing to their students. And why? Because they love us. Students love us, they get to learn to surf at Australia’s coolest beach and because we’ve got instructors who know their stuff and know how to have fun. Teachers love us because all of our programs are developed on a sound educational basis by director Brenda Miley, a former PD/Health/PE teacher in both the primary and secondary school systems. Our instructors are certified with the highest qualifications, including Level 1 surf coaching accreditation, Bronze Medallion surf lifesaving, advanced resuscitation and First Aid. We are a licensed Surfing Australia Surf School, a member of the Surf Schools Association of Australia, and the only officially licensed surf school at Bondi Beach. Basically, we aim to make the grade for people like you who, well, make the grades. So choose us as your surf school of record, and we’ll help you add a favourite new subject to your class schedule.
