The class of 2024 have officially left their formal schooling years behind and are now enjoying their schoolies week – celebrating the end of 13 years of school. For many local students, the celebrations started during their final week at school with formals, graduations, and other celebrations unique to each school. Students from St Andrew’s Anglican College at Peregian Springs who are involved in school surfing made a dash for the beach, complete in their uniforms for one final surf as a team. We wish the Class of 2024 all the best for the future and undoubtedly many will be riding the waves of success for years to come!
