Suneden Specialist School Hits the Beach
Students from Suneden Special School hit the water with the help from Seacliff Surf Life Saving Club (SLSC) during the months of March and April 2018. Some of the students had never been to the beach before or experienced swimming in the sea. Volunteers from Seacliff SLSC gave up their time on Tuesday mornings to enable the sessions to take place. The 8-week program allowed the students to enjoy the beach and learn new water safety skills.
