Team Building and Surfing

Our Year 11 VCE VM and VPC students kicked off the year with an unforgettable team-building experience in Torquay with Go Ride a Wave. The day began with structured team-building activities that encouraged students to connect, communicate and support one another, setting a strong foundation for the year ahead.

Students then truly stepped outside their comfort zones as they took to the water for a surfing lesson. With encouragement from staff, instructors and each other, students demonstrated outstanding resilience, perseverance and teamwork. The surf session was full of laughter, determination and constant peer support, with students cheering one another on and celebrating every success—big or small.

It was fantastic to see how positively students embraced the challenge and how naturally they worked together throughout the day. This experience has helped them form a cohesive and supportive team as they embark on their final senior years at Clonard. We couldn’t be more proud of the way they have started the year and the positive, inclusive culture they are building together.
