Montessori Noosa Year 7 student Lorena Raad shares how the school preserve the surfing traditions of the area.  She interviewed her fellow students on this project.

We are Montessori Noosa, we are a small school located in the beautiful Sun-shine Coast QLD. We have around 60 students from 5 to 14 years old. We were very lucky to get the opportunity to create art on 3 old surfboards, donated by Noosa Festival of Surfing and Noosa World Surfing Reserve. The surfboards were used to promote a new education program on surf etiquette.
