Level 2 PEO students braved the southerly blast to catch some epic waves at Piha this week.
Year 12 Physical Education Outdoors students have been busy practising their skills at Tawharanui, Te Arai, Omaha and Piha to improve their surfing prowess, in order to achieve NCEA credits this term.
“The surf was really powerful compared to the east coast waves we had been surfing,” says teacher Anna Jolly.
"The students surfed their hearts out, and I'm proud to say that everyone passed!”
As well as the specatular surf and turf, other highlights were Mr Aslanian 'dropping in' on Ryan Eade and Lucas Harvey out the back; elaborate feasts cooked by students on the BBQ; roasting marshmallows, and the traditional night-time Spotlight game.
Big shout outs must go to Mr Aslanian and Mr Harris who got stuck-in, surfing with the students; and to Mrs Keymer, the 'Camp Mother'.
