Sunshine Beach State High School, Sunshine Coast, Queensland
Surfing excellence program, scuba diving & marine studies at one of the world’s top locations
”The subject I prefer is Marine Science as we don’t have that in Austria and you have some practice with the studies as well. I was so lucky to be able to participate in the Marine Research Project on Heron Island with my teacher and classmates. Where I live is so beautiful too and I can go to the beach every day. It is like living in paradise!” Paula, Austria
