 Surfers Against Sewage (SAS) campaigners and O'Neill professional surfers will be dropping in on the 5 class winners of the primary school based national 'marine environment saving project' on Friday 15th April.
The SAS O’Neill Marine Education Project encouraged classes to work within the curriculum (Key Stage 2) to build projects that help them, their classmates and the general public learn more about preserving and protecting our oceans from pollution.
The 5 winning schools showed fantastic imagination creating final projects that included raps, wall murals, a moving beach litter man and many beach cleans.
 Class teachers of the 5 winning schools have been notified but pupils will not be told they have won until SAS campaigners and O'Neill pro-surfers arrive at the schools on Friday. They will give the winning class their winner’s certificates and give them their projects back.
The 5 winning schools will be rewarded for their efforts with a fun but environmentally packed day of action with SAS and O'Neill during our activities week in July. We'll be based in the National Maritime Museum in Falmouth and here the kids will be rewarded by getting to go out on the regions largest and fastest RIB to watch and observe some of the fantastic
marine wildlife we have around the regions shores. They'll also be fun education workshops and a chance to see the Museum's excellent and interactive exhibits. The class will also get to learn what it's like to travel the world as an O'Neill professional surfer and why its important the waves stay clean.
Andy Cummins, SAS Campaigner says, “The winning projects showed a depth of environmental understanding that really impressed everyone at SAS and O’Neill. The 5 winners really deserve their place in the SAS O’Neill environmental activities week.”
Local media are invited to join SAS to let the classes know they've won and
to see some of the projects that have been completed.
