Woodridge Surf Lifesaving Club celebrates its 50th year with some amazing results by St Francis Bay locals at this week’s aquatics events at Woodridge College. Locals who are club members at Woodridge SLC achieved some amazing results in the annual College River Mile and Gala.
Founded in 1973, Woodridge SLC is proud to have provided 50 years of valuable voluntary community service with lifeguard patrols on Sundays at Main Beach, Cape St Francis.
The Club has participated in every provincial and national lifesaving competition since 1974 and is the world’s only fully functioning school-based voluntary surf lifesaving club.
In addition to the voluntary duty patrols, the Club plays a major role in the School’s life skills and leadership programmes.
