Afternoon and Weekend Surfing Programs

Walkin’ On Water Surf School is back open, running lessons and programs again at Greenmount Beach in Coolangatta. As a lot of other children’s sport cannot start, we are offering specifically designed after school surfing as well as weekend surfing programs for our local school children for all ages and all levels. * We have implemented several temporary changes in how we do things for the safety of everyone and so that we remain COVIDSafe, as seen on our website. * www.walkinonwater.com

Full Circle Formals

Formal season is coming up and we would like to give a shoutout to local charity Full Circle Formals. Full Circle Formals collects second hand formal wear through donations and thrift stores and then gives them to underprivileged Australian youth to wear for their high school formals.

Every child deserves to feel just as special as the next and through these donations FCF will be able to provide these children an opportunity that they never thought possible. Even though we are true believers in inner beauty, we just want to give these children the extra confidence and self appreciation we know they have inside by providing them an outfit that lets their personality shine.

If your family has any formal clothing no longer being used and you would like to donate towards this fantastic cause please drop it into PBC main reception.

The Cicada Film Festival (CFF) is a short film competition open to South East Queensland youth, up to and including 24 years of age. Entrants have a chance to learn about environmental issues as they research projects, develop skills from writing, filming and editing their productions. The films are also intended to educate and influence. Schools and students both have the chance to win cash prizes. Submissions close 7 September, which coincides with Threatened Species Day, and an awards night is planned for 30 October. For more information or to enter, go to the CFF website.
