Surfing excellence
The Mooloolaba State School Surfing Excellence program is designed to enhance the
skills of surfers who are aiming to surf at a higher level. Students involved
in the program have the opportunity to be selected in the school surfing team
which participates in interschool competitions.
The program consists of weekly surf training with the Maroochy Surf School, fortnightly pool and gym sessions along with skateboard training.
Prior
to expressing an interest, both the parents and students need to fully
understand the level of commitment involved. We understand that these
requirements may not suit all families and if they do not, your child would not
be available for selection. To assist us with selection please consider
carefully if you believe your child has the required surfing ability and desire
for the program. Numbers are restricted
for reasons of management and safety guidelines. We also place a strong influence on gender
balance as many competitions we attend need mixed teams.
Student’s
commitment required
- Students
must attend all training sessions (beach, pool, gym, and skateboarding). Entering
competitions is optional.
- All members
of this program are expected to maintain a very high level of acceptable
behaviour in all school activities and classroom time.
- Students
must maintain a very high level of effort in all subjects at Mooloolaba State
School and have a pre-existing record of this level of effort in past
years.
- Students
must be a strong swimmer.
- Students
must have a competent level of ability in surfing for their age group.
This program is based on increasing the student’s existing surfing
level. This is not a beginner level
surf program and students must be already capable of standing on their surfboard.
