Perseverance and bravery

03 Jul 2025

Painting a surf board

Purple group discussed two of our Star Strengths, Perseverance and Bravery, after watching a video about local world champion blind surfer, Matt Formiston.

Despite being born nearly blind, Matt hasn't let anything hold him back and he's a true example of the transformative power of audacious goal-setting and unlocking untapped potential.

Purple group made surf boards and painted them - a reminder of the lesson to take home with them.
