Congratulations to our Class 6 student Makiah - we are so proud of you!

This was Makiah's 3rd Surf Life Saving State Championships and she got stronger and more confident each year. This year she was aiming for a medal and got the bronze in her first event - the 100m beach sprint. She was so happy, but then she went on to win the gold in the beach flags!

To get to the final, she did 14 races, beating the last year's winner in the final, and becoming state champion.

This year it was held at Sorrento surf club and to get to the state championship Makiah had to win the Great Southern regional in which she won 4 gold and 1 silver which gave her entry into the state chamionship. Over 500 kids competed from all over WA to make the last 18 in each event.

What an achievement, so well done, Makiah!
