This year's Bush to Beach program was again a huge success. The program saw about 40 school students from Bourke and Brewarrina travel to Narrabeen as a reward for good school behavior.

This year, the students stood out in specifically designed t-­shirts sponsored by MPREC. Thet-shirts helped the students create a sense of belonging and home, despite the distance
traveled. Not only did they look great, but they also had a great time, joining with the local Nippers club for flag races and beach sprints, tug-o-­war and even surfing lessons.

Off the beach, they enjoyed activities like archery and rock climbing at the Sydney Academy of Sport and Recreation.
